Features: The newly revised "Architectural Design Data Collection" (Second Edition) is an updated version of the original, organized into four major parts: General, Civil Buildings, Industrial Buildings, and Architectural Structures. The first two volumes cover General Topics; the next four volumes (3-7) cover Civil and Industrial Buildings; the subsequent volumes focus on Architectural Structures. The writing style remains primarily visual, with diagrams and tables supplemented by concise text. This volume is the fourth in the series. 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 relationship with disciplines such as water supply, heating, electricity, sanitation, architectural structures, and architectural economics but also involves multiple knowledge areas such as philosophy, aesthetics, sociology, ergonomics, behavioral and environmental psychology, and more.
Second, during this revision, most content has been significantly updated or expanded, with only a few items retained from the original version. New additions include: Morphological Composition; Landscape Gardening; Environmental Artifacts; Urban Squares; Ancient Chinese Architecture; Folk Dwellings; Architectural Decoration; Interior Design; Barrier-Free Design; Commercial Streets; Metro Systems; Rural Residential Buildings; Courthouses; Banks; Computer Room Design; Solar Energy Applications, etc. Additionally, the technical parameters, quota indicators, and design principles listed in the new edition are based on updated design codes, and all design examples have been comprehensively revised, making this large-scale reference tool even more practical.
Third, the writing system features clear categorization and convenient access. General topics are compiled in volumes 1 and 2, while the other volumes cover specific types of civil and industrial buildings, as well as architectural structures.
Fourth, the new edition maintains the unique style of the original in terms of cover design and layout to preserve the continuity of this large-scale reference book. However, improvements have been made in paper materials and printing technology, making it more exquisite than the original version.
