the book is "Architect ure - residenti al drawing an design" by Clois E. Kicklight er copyright 1976.
I've used it hundreds of times to find the "standard" design for the angle on the back of a chair or the working triangle of and effective kitchen, acceptabl e rise and run on stairs, etc. etc.. Its always been personal stuff but very useful.
My $5 used copy of the 1981 edition arrived today. Not sure the chapter on T squares and erasing (still remember those...) is too useful, but the standard dimension
s, room sizes, beam loading, etc. is what I needed. Thanks for the reference!
My middle girl has a Masters of Architect
ure from MIT, but when I've asked her these kinds of questions she just tells me that's for the engineer to worry about. Scary.
