Great Quick Reference

I honestly think this is one of the best books in my large Interior Design related library. It is extensive, yet to the point. It explains human dimension from a point you would never imagine ever existed or was in any way important. Provides very useful measurements, detailed drawings, and space planning suggestions - great resource!

Indispensible Resource

I purchased this book over 22 years ago and loved it then! I lost my copy during a move and now am looking to repurchase it. Without a doubt, it was one of the most valuable books in my collection for designing custom homes! As an architectural designer, I highly recommend this book to any design professional or student!

It's All Inside!

One of the best reference books to date for building ergonomic interiors.

I couldn't live without it.

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.

This book serves as a linchpin in designing any interior!

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.
