The Measure of Man and Woman: Human Factors in Design
The Measure of Man and Woman is a reference work by Alvin R. Tilley and Henry Dreyfuss Associates. This PDF edition offers a digital download with instant access after purchase.
The book presents human-factors data for designers, architects, and engineers. It combines anthropometric and ergonomic information to help create products and environments that better accommodate people.
Book Overview: The Measure of Man and Woman
The Measure of Man and Woman assembles the most vital data currently available to assist designers. The volume is based on more than 40 years of data accumulated by Henry Dreyfuss Associates. It covers 98% of the adult population and includes new information for infants, toddlers, youths, the elderly, and differently abled people.
The work is organized around human dimensions, seating, computer stations, residential spaces, displays, manual controls, safety, and the environment. It is intended for engineers, architects, industrial designers, interior designers, craftspeople, artists, and students.
What You’ll Discover Inside
- Anthropometric measurements of men, women, toddlers, youths, the elderly, and differently abled people
- Seating and computer station considerations for men and women
- Residential space considerations including bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and limited spaces
- Guidance on displays, manual controls, and environmental factors
- Safety at work and at home, including factory, office, and home settings
- Vehicular accommodation and agricultural and industrial equipment
- Anthropometric terms, conversion scales, and a bibliography
Why This Book Matters
The book represents a comprehensive revamping of the earlier landmark volume, The Measure of Man. It reflects the growing recognition that products and environments should accommodate a wide range of human sizes, abilities, and limitations.
It also addresses the needs of groups that were often overlooked in earlier design data, including differently abled people and children. Its data supports safer, more comfortable, and more usable design.
