Neufert Architects' Data, Third Edition 3rd Edition

It has basics and advanced knowledge that is not less than a must for anyone dealing building , renovations and planning.

It was in our varsity library where I opened "Neufert" for the first time back in late 70s (they had a two-volume Russian version). Amazingly, then as I studied Architecture I was rather impressed by a broad selection of examples of Western Architecture than by reference data themselves. Now I am more interested in the latter... And the newly edition I have surely provides that! You may blame it for slightly outdated materials or general incompleteness. But, remember, those features are generic for sources like this. Instead the book is useful specifically at preliminary design phases when an architect needs the most general guidelines. You can quickly navigate in a fat volume and can get desired information easily and in full. The only drawback, I think, is that the book is rather based on a continental (mostly German) and British content which can be somewhat inconvenient for, say, an American reader.

The Neufert is the one book that any architect or building designer needs. I am very pleased with the quality of the book and the promptness it was delivered

Not what expected. It is a sort of PDF version. Resolution not good enough to use with smartphone. Better get the real thing.

I bought this used and it is like new. I am very happy that I saved a lot of money making this decision to go for used. Thanks Amazon!

the right book in good enough shape and much better than buying new -that is all I have to say

This has always been a staple reference book for architects since my student days. I haven't bought a copy for many years, so I was pleased to see that it has been revised and updated to include plenty of relevant new data. Unlike a US-published competitor this book is in metric, and is more expansive in its coverage of building types. A really useful reference tool for all building space planners, architects and interior designers.

This book was requested by our Design and Drafting Chair and he is extremely pleased with the content.
