Organised largely by building type, and with over 6000 diagrams, it provides a mass of data on spatial requirements and also covers planning criteria and considerations of function and siting. It also looks at the design styles and specifications for creating different types of structures, such as those made for residential, commercial, religious, cultural, sports, medical and other types of occupation. Architects' Data, 6 th Edition starts with the basics of designing for a new building project, before moving on to covering everything an architect needs to know.

Neufert's Architects' Data is an essential reference for the initial design and planning of a building project. The book also includes an extensive bibliography and detailed set of metric/imperial conversion tables. Until 1986, Ernst Neufert was its editor, after which his son Peter took over the publishing with his company AG Neufert Mittmann Graf Partner, until his death in 1995.I used it for everything - but the thermal properties of various materials was a particularly useful part. Architects' Data ( German: Bauentwurfslehre), also simply known as the Neufert, is a reference book for spatial requirements in building design and site planning. Since it was first published in Germany in 1936, Ernst Neufert's handbook has been progressively revised and updated through 39 editions and many translations.

Most illustrations are dimensioned and each building type includes plans, sections, site layouts and design details. It provides, in one concise volume, the core information needed to form the framework for the more detailed design and planning of any building project.Teaching at Weimar's Bauhochschule from 1926 after graduating from the Bauhaus, Ernst Neufert began to collect data about building, in a way of rationalization.
