It established for the first time a com- prehensive source of reference material dealing with the functional analysi ‘and standards of all major types of buildings. It contained in a single source fan extensive amount of essential planning data for the architectural designer ‘and related professionals. This was accomplished by contributions from many individuals and by researching and consolidating a wide range of literature, As much as possible, the criteria were presented in graphic form for easier reference and use. In a span of a few short years, the first edition has established itself as a useful and popular reference source to both pro fessionals and students. In order to maintain its effectiveness and meet this need, the book requires periodic review and revision te incorporate new developments and thinking. As a result, the second edition has been pub- lished. The new edition has been expanded by over two hundred pages and ‘approximately twenty-ive percent of the original book has been revised, Obsolete pages have been eliminated and more current materials have been added. Also, several new building types have been included. ‘The authors wish to emphasize to the user of this handbook that the material presented is primarily offered to give basic or general data for particular building type. This material is not intended to give definitive ‘schematics, rigid formulas, or final design solutions that will automatically provide the solution to the particular design problem at hand. Rather, these standards and criteria should be the starting point for further analysis, study, and review of the functional relationships of each building type. Primarily, in this handbook is intended to be used by the architect, designer, 1d design professionals in the following manner: 1. to assist in developing building programs and est ‘space allocations, 2. to analyze specific client needs and to quantity ther 3, to study general and specific functional relationships 4, to assist in the preparations of preliminary architectural designs ‘The authors strongly believe in the principle that “form follows function’ ‘and that before @ building can succeed aesthetically it must perform its function efficiently, All the material presented in this handbook deals with the function of a building rather than its form. There is absolutely no attempt to dictate or even suggest aesthetic or definitive design solutions to anyyner must have complete freedom to With the handbook’s solid functional . this goal can be achieved more successfully. JOSEPH De CHIARAPreface to the First Edition ‘TIME-SAVER STANDARDS FOR BUILDING TYPES is @ natural outgrowth of the present fourth edition of Time-Saver Standards, A Handbook of Architectural Design Data. Over the years, 8s Time-Saver Standards became more popular and comprehensive, it also became larger in size and more ‘cumbersome to use. In addition to containing architectural design data, the fourth edition also had some design material dealing with specific types of buildings. When the book was ready for a fifth revision, it became apparent that changes had to be made in the content and format of the book. In order to be able to include new design data in a comprehensive manner, it was decided to remove the material dealing with building types from the fifth edition and use this material ag # core for the new book: Time-Saver Standards for Building Types. The original material has been revised, greatly expanded, and reorganized to cover all of the major building types. ‘The result has been a completely new handbook for the architectural profession. It evolved from and follows the tradition of the first four editions of Time-Saver Standards. Time-Saver Standards for Building Types and Time-Saver Standards for Architectural Design Data, Sth edition, are closely related but, in fact, are separate and independent books. Time-Saver Standards for Building Types is intended primarily to meet the needs of those who are involved in the conceiving, planning, programming, or design of buildings. It is intended to give basic design criteria for each major type of building. it will give those unfamiliar with a specific type of building a ns, organization, and major com- intended to act as a guide or reference point from which the specific design solutions can be established. Absolutely no attompt is mai this book to present the final design solution for any building type, nor does it hor influence the final aesthetic expression of the building. itis, hoped that the designer or architect, by having at his disposal the widest range of information concerning a building type, will be able to design more functional, more meaningful, and more exciting buildings. ‘Theeditors wish totakethis opportunity toexpress their gratitudeand sincere thanks to the many individuals, architects, libraries, and many varied organiza- tions who have generously contributed their expertise to this new creation, Time-Saver Standards for Building Types.
