   This book serves as a linchpin in designing any interior!, December 30, 1998

   This review is from: Human Dimension & Interior Space: A Source Book of Design Reference Standards (Hardcover)

   Human Dimension & Interior Space provides information about interior space requirements and human dimensions that are indispensable to the beginning design student or the practicing professional. Its drawings and charts are clear, easy to understand and even easier to apply. It should be part of every design professional’s library or student’s required reading list. It is also refreshing to note that this book has integrated barrier free design/accessibility issues into each space type that is covered, and not made it a separate issue.

   I couldn’t live without it., December 17, 2002

   As a licensed Interior Designer I refer to this book frequently. To determine the space required for any activity from opening a file drawer to dining, watching a movie or simply removing an object from a shelf this book gives it to you straight with no fluff. It contains simple but indispensible scientific data for the 95th percentile and beyond. Whether you are a student or a professional, in Interior Design, Architecture or Industrial Design I highly recommend Human Dimension and Interior Space.

   Poor substitute for “Time Saver Standards”, November 30, 2004

   This review is from: Human Dimension & Interior Space: A Source Book of Design Reference Standards (Hardcover)

   I bought this book as an inexpensive alternative to “TIME SAVER STANDARDS FOR INTERIOR DESIGN AND SPACE PLANNING” by Joseph Dechiara and found it to be a poor substitute. While this book has useful information on human dimensions it falls short when portraying ergonomic information. OK for an introductory book on the subject but “TIME SAVER STANDARDS…” is a far superior reference.
