Features: The newly revised Architectural Design Data Collection (Second Edition) is updated based on the original version, organized into four major parts: General, Civil Buildings, Industrial Buildings, and Architectural Structures. Volume 1 and 2 cover General; Volumes 3 to 7 cover Civil and Industrial Buildings; the subsequent volumes focus on Architectural Structures. The writing style remains primarily visual and tabular, supplemented by concise text. This is Volume 4. The newly revised Architectural Design Data Collection has the following characteristics: First, it is more systematic and comprehensive, covering all professional knowledge related to architectural design. It encompasses various fields of architectural design across history and cultures; it not only has a close and integrated relationship with disciplines such as water supply, heating, electricity, sanitation, architectural structures, and architectural economics but also involves multiple knowledge domains such as philosophy, aesthetics, sociology, ergonomics, and behavioral and environmental psychology. Second, during this revision, except for a few retained from the original version, most content has been significantly updated or enriched. New additions include: Morphological Composition; Landscape Gardening; Environmental Decorations; Urban Squares; Ancient Chinese Architecture; Folk Dwellings; Architectural Decoration; Interior Design; Barrier-Free Design; Commercial Streets; Metro Systems; Rural Residential Buildings; Courts; Banks; Computer Rooms; Solar Energy Applications, etc. Additionally, the technical parameters, quota indicators, and design principles listed in the new version are selected from updated design codes, and all design examples are comprehensively revised, making this large-scale reference tool more practical. Third, the writing system features clear categorization and convenient reference. General topics are compiled in Volumes 1 and 2, while other volumes are dedicated to specific types of civil buildings, industrial buildings, and architectural structures. Fourth, the new edition's design and layout of the cover and pages maintain the unique style of the original version, ensuring the continuity of this large-scale reference tool, while the paper materials and printing technology are more refined than the original.
