Bauentwurfslehre

Clear functional diagrams and typologies for all types of buildings and structures, as well as measurements and dimensions for rooms, facilities, and equipment, can be reliably referenced in "Neufert," providing planners with a quick overview and a secure entry point into all design topics.

In the 44th edition, the human being as a measure and goal is once again brought into focus. The demand for sustainable, socially considerate, and well-proportioned architecture should not lose sight of the function and economic viability of buildings and the built environment. Thus, in the graphic representation of human protagonists, an old critique of gender-specific societal assignments is resolved.

Topics such as "healing architecture" in the chapter on hospital buildings have been newly included, as well as a newly illuminated building typology for protective spaces. Sustainable planning in existing structures also means structuring planning processes differently than in new construction projects, requiring a corresponding understanding from both planners and clients, which is also addressed in the 44th edition.

The renovation of existing structures also impacts the restructuring of street space to ensure the success of the mobility transition. This, along with a deepening of the topic "green architecture," are further focal points of the 44th edition.

Additionally, there are numerous supplements and updates in all chapters resulting from changes in standards, guidelines, and laws.
