Book Overview
First published in 1979 by Whitney Library of Design, this work presents human dimensions as part of the design process. It covers anthropometric theory, data sources, data presentation, percentiles, variability, reach, clearance, adjustability, movement, and joint motion.
The book also addresses elderly and physically disabled people, including chairbound and ambulant disabled people. Its later sections focus on the dynamics of seating and detailed anthropometric reference tables.
Category: Design. Authors: Julius Panero and Martin Zelnik.
What You’ll Discover Inside
- Anthropometric theory, data sources, data types, percentiles, variability, and reliability.
- Applications involving reach, clearance, adjustability, hidden dimensions, and people in motion.
- Human dimensions related to elderly people and physically disabled people.
- Seating considerations, including seat height, seat depth, backrests, armrests, and cushioning.
- Structural and functional body dimensions for adult males and females.
- Projected 1985 body dimensions, adult male working positions, and measurements for children ages 6 to 11.
- Reference dimensions for adult male heads, faces, hands, and feet.
Why This Book Matters
Human Dimension & Interior Space connects anthropometric data with practical design questions. Its coverage of reach, clearance, adjustability, seating, and disability supports careful consideration of how people interact with designed spaces.
The work is also valuable as an archival design reference because it combines explanatory material with extensive body-dimension tables.
