The Architect's Sourcebook: Dimensions and Files for Space Design Stanislas Chaillou

Structural design manuals are an essential tool for architects from their studies to their everyday practice. The Architect's Sourcebook is intended as a supplement to existing standard works. It combines correct floor layout planning for residential, office and outdoor spaces with the digital workflows of everyday office life.

Designers can select from over 1,000 CAD blocks of generic elements for their floor plans from typologically bundled examples - from plants, animals and people to furniture and playground equipment. The DWG files are loaded via QR code (e.g., via smartphone), transferred to a computer and flexibly integrated into the user's own 2-D plan at an appropriate scale. The CAD blocks are provided by the software company Rayon and are compatible with all CAD programs.
