Description
Human body measurements and interior space are closely linked in design. This comprehensive reference book provides a foundation for understanding human dimensions and their application to interior spaces. The first part of the book explores the theory and application of anthropometrics, including guidelines for designing spaces that accommodate people of all ages and abilities. The second part presents easy-to-read tables illustrating current data on human body size, organized by age and percentile groupings. The third part features dimensioned drawings showing the proper relationship between users and space in various settings, from residential to institutional environments.
