Things like how much space to leave per person at a dining table so that there is room to eat comfortably and serve the food, or how to hang pictures so that they are the most visually accessible, or even how to arrange your furniture to make a room feel more livable, all based on anthropometric considerations.

If you're arranging just for you and your family, you could use the book to learn what measurements to take, and then gather the data for yourself, rather than using the percentile figures provided.

My original reason for picking up this book was very specific: I wanted to know what measurements to consider when designing a workbench that I plan to build in the near future. Yes, long before I wanted to be an astronautical engineer, and even before I started dabbling in writing, I wanted to be a carpenter, and have my own little shop building custom furniture for people. While I no longer have much of an interest in trying to make a living off of the activity, I still enjoying the craft, and have some thought that I may eventually build some custom furniture for my own home.

After all, I don't have enough hobbies. If you're wondering how I went from hand-made furniture to billion dollar spacecraft, well I guess a satellite is just a fancy metal cabinet in space? There are, admittedly, parts of this book that I don't think I will ever use, like the considerations for designing healthcare spaces, or the dimensional concerns pertaining to rubber ducks in hot tubs. The authors are also a little over-excited about their chosen topic, including an epilogue in which they essentially argue that incorporating anthropometric considerations into interior design will save lives and solve all of the world's problems I'm exaggerating slightly, but only slightly.

I certainly cannot argue that this book is not dry, and if you read before bed, like I do, you will have little difficulty falling asleep while you're reading it.

That's not why you should read this book. If you live or work with physical objects, which I think almost all of us do, this book will be a useful reference to you, and I highly recommend it.

Martin Zelnick. The study of human body measurements on a comparative basis is known as anthropometrics. Its applicability to the design process is seen in the physical fit, or interface, between the human body and the various components of interior space.

Human Dimension and Interior Space is the first major anthropometrically based reference book of design standards for use by all those The study of human body measurements on a comparative basis is known as anthropometrics. Human Dimension and Interior Space is the first major anthropometrically based reference book of design standards for use by all those involved with the physical planning and detailing of interiors, including interior designers, architects, furniture designers, builders, industrial designers, and students of design.

The use of anthropometric data, although no substitute for good design or sound professional judgment should be viewed as one of the many tools required in the design process. This comprehensive overview of anthropometrics consists of three parts. The first part deals with the theory and application of anthropometrics and includes a special section dealing with physically disabled and elderly people.

It provides the designer with the fundamentals of anthropometrics and a basic understanding of how interior design standards are established. The second part contains easy-to-read, illustrated anthropometric tables, which provide the most current data available on human body size, organized by age and percentile groupings. Also included is data relative to the range of joint motion and body sizes of children.

The third part contains hundreds of dimensioned drawings, illustrating in plan and section the proper anthropometrically based relationship between user and space. The types of spaces range from residential and commercial to recreational and institutional, and all dimensions include metric conversions. In the Epilogue, the authors challenge the interior design profession, the building industry, and the furniture manufacturer to seriously explore the problem of adjustability in design.

They expose the fallacy of designing to accommodate the so-called average man, who, in fact, does not exist. Using government data, including studies prepared by Dr. Howard Stoudt, Dr. Albert Damon, and Dr. Public Health Service, Panero and Zelnik have devised a system of interior design reference standards, easily understood through a series of charts and situation drawings.

With Human Dimension and Interior Space , these standards are now accessible to all designers of interior environments. Get A Copy. Hardcover , pages. Published November 1st by Watson-Guptill first published More Details
