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.

From the Back Cover

Interior architectural details, planning standards, and reference data, for use by architects, interior designers, space planners, facility managers, builders, and design students.

Long recognized as one of the most comprehensive architectural and interior design reference resources and known as “the silver bible,” this new edition of Time-Saver Standards for Interior Design and Space Planning is an excellent source of easily accessible design criteria, planning standards, and technical guidelines. The vast array of design information, all contained in a single volume, facilitates and expedites the completion of programming, preliminary planning, design development, and working drawing services.

This updated and revised edition of Time-Saver Standards for Interior Design and Space Planning serves as a primary source of information for all design professionals. Organized in an easily accessible format, the book contains key criteria useful to every design professional and builder involved in the planning of a large variety of interior projects.

It includes, among other changes, entirely new sections dealing with healthcare spaces, hospitality spaces, banking spaces, conference centers, and accessible design, featuring the latest ADA design requirements.

Moreover, many of the existing sections of the book have been significantly expanded to include such new material as design and planning criteria for video-conference spaces, as well as a host of additional lighting design details, workstation configurations, and reference standards.

If you are serious about design, this book is a must! I’ve got few different ones before but they all has basic and limited information. I had this book years ago when I was in design school and was searching for it now that I started my own inter design business. It has ALL the information you need for both residential and commercial spaces. Especially if you are involved with remodeling or any kind of construction. It’s huge and heavy, silver bible, well worth the investment for serious designers!

Except for some dusty smudges on the cover, the book looks like it was opened once or twice, otherwise in brand new condition. Took a while to arrive from across the pond, but it did arrive in good condition. I'm already using it. THANK you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most useful college textbook for design students
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2017

This book was one of the most helpful books I used while getting my interior design degree. It has codes, ADA standards, and history of furniture and architecture. It's by far the biggest textbook I had to use in college, but highly recommend it for anyone who is getting their design degree, even if it's not required- it really is the only book you'll return to time and time again.

3.0 out of 5 stars Can't Not Have This
Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2008

This is a required book for anyone in Interior Design for a good reason: it has about everything, including the (many kinds) of kitchen sink. What I really can't stand about using it is the seemingly arbitrary indexing, scattered locations for information and nearly impossible to decipher graphics on some pages. I do not agree that it has much useful information on furniture styles: you'd be better off to shell out for Aronson's "Encyclopedia of Furniture" or Miller's "Furniture" and get right to what you need. The standard dimensions are useful, though, especially for space planning purposes. Don't be surprised if there is information missing in some cases, or it is outright incorrect. Be sure to cross-reference and here's another tip: make a cheat sheet for yourself for the pages you use most, tape it to the inside cover and go from there. The Index is a goose-chase. Why three stars? Because I think they can do better. It is time for a rehaul of the Silver Monster.

When I studied design in college, this book was my bible. It has every standard for residential and commercial space, from furniture and cabinetry dimensions, to how far they need to be from each other to function the best, according to human scale.
