I've heard this can be quite difficult to get a hold of. A must for architecture/engineering students and professionals


Originally devised as a guide for converting from imperial to metric measurements, 'The Metric Handbook' has since been totally transformed into a handbook of planning and design data for construction professionals. This new edition has been updated to account of the most recent changes to regulation and practice, in particular the increasing emphasis on environmental legislation - to meet the needs of the modern building design professional.

The Metric Handbook deals with all the principal building types from ports, factories and warehouses, offices shops and hospitals, to schools, religious buildings and libraries. For each type the book gives the basic design requirements and all the principal dimensional data, as well as succinct guidance on how to use the information and what regulations the designer may need to be aware of.

As well as buildings the Metric Handbook deals with broader aspects of design such as materials, acoustics and lighting, and general design data on human dimensions and space requirements.
