Ernst Neufert

    March 15, 1900 – February 23, 1986

    Ernst Neufert was a German architect and educator whose legacy is primarily embodied in his seminal handbook, Architects' Data. This essential reference, born from his extensive experience and understanding of rational construction processes, has become indispensable for generations of architects globally. His early career involved influential studies at the Bauhaus under Walter Gropius, shaping his approach to modern architectural principles. Neufert's profound dedication to standardization and efficiency profoundly influenced not only his own practice but also the broader field of architecture.

      Ernst Neufert (1900–1986) und sein Sohn Peter Neufert (1925–1999) bestimmten durch ihre zahlreichen Entwürfe, die Wohngebäude aber auch Industrie- und Handelsbauten umfassten, das Bauen in Deutschland im 20. Jahrhundert mit. In besonderem Maße prägend war die langjährige Lehrtätigkeit Ernst Neuferts an der TU Darmstadt sowie nicht zuletzt seine bis heute gültige Standardpublikation Bauentwurfslehre. Vater und Sohn stehen mit ihren Gebäuden für die Moderne sowie den Wiederaufbau nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. Ernst Neufert etwa entwickelte das streng funktionalistische Versandzentrum von Quelle in Nürnberg. Die neuen technischen Entwicklungen des Spannbetons ermöglichten Peter Neufert kühne Formexperimente, die seine Ende der 1960er-Jahre entstandenen Bauten deutlich von denjenigen seines Vaters unterscheiden. Der Band dokumentiert anhand von großformatigen Fotos den Istzustand von sechs ausgewählten Bauprojekten der beiden Architekten und führt die Qualität und Bedeutung ihrer Entwürfe vor Augen.

      Neufert's Architects' Data is an essential reference for the initial design and planning of a building project. 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. Organised largely by building type, it covers the full range of preliminary considerations, and with over 6200 diagrams it provides a mass of data on spatial requirements. Most illustrations are dimensioned and each building type includes plans, sections, site layouts and design details. An extensive bibliography and a detailed set of metric/ imperial conversion tables are included. 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. This fourth English language edition is translated from the 39th German edition, and represents a major new edition for an international, English speaking readership. Reviews of the Previous Edition: "Neufert's Architects' Data was the first book I bought when I started my studies in architecture. It was invaluable for me then and it is still a useful aid in my designs." —Cesar Pelli "With this thorough rewrite Neufert has produced yet again an invaluable reference book." —The Architects' Journal

      The team Karle and Buxbaum renovated the post-war Modernist building in Germany, breaking up the old cell structure to make larger units, thus restoring its former chrisma.
