The Silver Bible -- thoroughly revised, updated and redesigned

Interior designers, architects, and other design professionals can still turn to the field’s beloved Silver Bible for a wealth of information related to the design and planning of residential and commercial interiors. But now, Time-Saver Standards for Interior Design and Space Planning, Second Edition goes even further to truly make the classic interior design reference the standard in its field.

From standard furniture dimensions to architectural woodwork details, you’ll find a vast array of time-saving data and details. Editors Joseph DeChiara, Julius Panero, and Martin Zelnik have brought together contributions from well-known architectural and interior design firms to give you details derived from actual designs and working drawings, showing various solutions for typical design problems encountered in interior architecture.

You get a wide range of typical layouts and residential spaces, offices, conference rooms, and reception areas, in addition to details of bars, restaurants, and public toilets. This exciting new edition includes new international examples and metrification – and provides you with full coverage of healthcare spaces, educational spaces; home offices; videoconferencing spaces; green design; project forms and schedules. Two outstanding sections cover historic styles and woodworking.

Housing represents by far the largest segment of the construction industry. This design reference features, in graphic and text mode, emerging trends in housing design and technology, new forms of multi-unit housing, new demands from housing owners (such as the home office) and new zoning and controls on site size and location.
