CLK 2.0 out of 5 stars The graphic style was quite disappointing. Its not very easy to follow. Granted the author wanted to have it work more like a guideline of sorts without being repetitive, hence the need to keep it short and concise, however, I think it lacks clarity overall. The use of dimensions is also very inconsistent and hard to grasp, even though I generally use the metric system. Rather use 1265mm and 1.265m, cm are just unnecessary as buildings are generally dimensioned in mm.The graphic style was quite disappointing. Its not very easy to follow.

There is probably no architect who has not used Neufert, whether as a didactic tool or as a volume of references. It contains all the necessary information to design and execute works of architecture. Neufert is enduringly popular.http://superbia.lgbt/flotaganis/1655418905 Courtesy of Harvard University Press Ernst Neufert’s life maps closely to the unfolding of the twentieth century. He was born on March 15, 1900, and his first job, as an apprentice mason at the age of fourteen, coincided with the outbreak of World War I. The year the war ended, he graduated from the School of Construction in Weimar. When the Bauhaus opened in 1919, he enrolled as one of its first students and soon started to work for the architectural practice of Walter Gropius and Adolf Meyer. In 1926, at the height of the Weimar Republic, he was made head of the building department at the State Technical University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (Staatliche Bauhochschule)—“the other Bauhaus.” Save this picture! Emigration to the US after the Nazi takeover in 1933 would have been the logical next step. Neufert’s life story might then have echoed many of his colleagues: educated in Germany, ascending to stardom in the United States. Neufert did not emigrate. But even his seemingly nonconformist choice to stay in Germany was a form of conformism—a largely apolitical act. The post he accepted under the regime was that of resident architect at the United Lusatia Glassworks (Vereinigte Lausitzer Glaswerke). Even in terms of his career choices, Neufert exhibited what would become the main paradox of his life: an exceptional pursuit of the norm. Neufert’s collaboration with Albert Speer began in 1938. Save this picture! Unlike Speer, Neufert was never accused of collaboration with the Nazis or convicted of any wrongdoing. After the war, he simply resumed his career as professor of architecture at Darmstadt University, and was appointed emeritus professor in 1965. Save this picture! Standardization Neufert’s involvement in the standardization of architectural dimensions and building practices, for which he is best known, started in 1926, when he began teaching at the Staatliche Bauhochschule in Weimar. Here, a compulsory module for new students was Schnellentwerfen (fast design), which allowed a very limited time to develop architectural solutions to a given brief. The academic catalog from 1929 described the class: Schnellentwerfen (fast design), which allowed a very limited time to develop architectural solutions to a given brief. The academic catalog from 1929 described the class: The instructor of the course speaks about the class of buildings known as “schools” and develops a series of economic, organizational and spatial questions out of their pedagogical and human meaning that are based on examples of executed buildings from the period. Then the instructor selects a few narrowly focused tasks and develops the following program in collaboration with the audience: A new building for the Bauhochschule is to be designed on a recently visited building site. Training workshops and residential studios are to be attached to it. The spatial requirements are known to the students. Three hours of intensive labor, then, the designs are collected. On the next morning, the instructor proceeds through the reviewed submissions on the epidiascope with specific issues in mind, and every designer must discuss and defend his or her proposal on an impromptu basis. This is followed by a sharp critique— first from one’s classmates, then from the instructor, just as one will later have to do when one becomes an architect and has to defend one’s ideas before an actual builder. Released in 1922 and set out by German engineer Walter Porstmann, the system is based on the metric system (an A0 sheet has a surface area of 1 square meter), with fixed proportions (1:v2). These are also constitutive of the dimensions of spaces. The Book and the Method Save this picture. The publication of Architect’s Data in 1936 was the high point of Neufert’s long, uninterrupted career. Its German title, Bauentwurfslehre, translates literally as “teachings on building design,” more forceful than the neutral Architect’s Data. The work is simultaneously a handbook, a textbook, and a reference; it is a didactic treatise rather than a mere repository of data. Neufert’s first edition is divided into five sections: Arbeitsvorbereitung (Preparatory work), Entwurf (Design), Bauliche Einzelheiten (Construction details), Gestaltung und Bemessung der Umgebung, der Ra?ume und Einrichtungen (Giving shape and dimension to the environment, spaces, and domestic furnishings), and Geba?udekunde (Building types). Save this picture! In 1943 Neufert published a second book, Bauordnungslehre, on behalf of Speer, who, in addition to being Hitler’s court architect, was by this time his minister of armaments and war production. Often regarded as a sequel to Bauentwurfslehre, it adopts a more urgent tone toward standardization and rationalization, as critical to total war. Speer wrote: Total War requires the concentration of all powers in the construction industry as well. Thoroughgoing centralization, for the purpose of economizing technical powers and building mass production systems, is the prerequisite for improving productivity.... With this new order, one can hardly rely on arbitrary measure of building components and the parliamentary deliberations of participating manufacturing organizations. Rather, one must establish a building order in the broadest sense of the word, with a firm hand and with the collaboration of industry, in order to ease the work of the manufacturer, the planner, and the builder in equal measure. And to achieve appropriate integration of building components. Professor Neufert dedicates himself to this important task as my Representative for Standardization in the Building Industry. Neufert himself wrote: During the First World War, Normenlehre by Porstmann appeared, which is as relevant today as it was then. After the World War, the standard numbers were established, which as an overarching proportional system uni ed the proportions of individual standards. Save this picture! Bricks During the war, Neufert began to focus on one of the humblest building components: the brick. Not only did Hitler and Speer need to rebuild German cities quickly to keep up morale, but a standardized building system was also essential because forced laborers, prisoners, and volunteers had no prior experience in building, and the first two groups were suspected of sabotage and perhaps 30 to 40 percent less productive due to malnutrition, disease, and torture. In the 1944 version of Bauentwurfslehre —in a process similar to Le Corbusier’s in developing his Modular Man—he retroactively amended measurements relating to the human body to suit his newly developed system of proportions. In 1950 his Octametric system became an official DIN standard called “Dimensional Coordination in Building Construction,” DIN 4172, which led to the prescription of standard-sized windows, doors, kitchens, bathrooms, and even ceiling heights. In 1952 DIN 152, the updated version, was enshrined in West German law: state subsidies for public housing would be extended only to builders who followed the norm. East Germany followed suit a few years later. The Importance of Being Ernst Ernst Neufert worked toward standardization regardless of circumstances or regimes. His work was tied to no political ideology, save for its absolute devotion to the efficiency of industry. He kept a wide network of collabora- tors throughout his life. His e orts were apolitical and, to some extent, amoral: he was a man who accepted work on plans to resettle the Aryan population in the newly conquered Eastern Europe, and a technocrat who would later argue for standardizing building and the design industry as a whole during the early years of West Germany’s Wirtschaftswunder. Tellingly, one product of his Octametric system was the Z-Mo?bel, a mail-order furnishing system developed by a Bavarian wood-carver, Alfred Oskar Zwink (together with prisoners from the Dachau concentration camp), using Neufert’s spatial diktat. The cupboards were quite vernacular in style but could be assembled without any knowledge of carpentry. It would seem, for the rational-above-all Ernst Neufert, that the end really did justify the means. The 1970s: The World Falls Out with Modularity Save this picture. For Neufert, the modular system was as much about construction as about redefining spatial realities, whether they were idealized or derived from reality. Instead, the idea of prefabrication was seized by manufacturing firms who came up with the stifling project of mass-producing whole house types instead of component parts only. Only in death did Neufert defy the norm. But even there, maybe he didn’t: his age exactly doubled the life expectancy of 1900, the year he was born. The total length of his life constitutes a perfect multiple—almost like the system of standard paper sizes he promoted. A firm bearing his name, Neufert Consulting GmbH, in the village of Bergisch Gladbach just outside Cologne, carries on his work. Four Walls and a Roof: The Complex Nature of a Simple Profession Buy on Amazon Notes Neufert’s built output remained extremely modest over the course of his lifetime in comparison with his wider influence, and all his buildings were built in Germany. The earliest of these was the Abbeanum and student house in Jena, completed in 1930; in 1955 he built the Ledingenwohnheim flats in Darmstadt, and he completed the Quelle Mail Order headquarters in Nuremberg in 1958 and an Eternit factory in Leimen in 1960. In the course of his residencies, Neufert contributed designs for various anonymous buildings in industrial complexes, but these have not been recorded in history.Did you know?

Published online by Cambridge University Press: Anna-Maria MeisterProfessor of Architecture Theory and Science, Department of Architecture, Technical University of DarmstadtOne of the most successful architecture books to date, the encyclopedic volume offered dimensioned floor plans for architectural tasks ranging from bunkers to dog kennels to Zeppelins. Meant to provide a total system of measures for architecture at large, the volume subjected building blocks, bricks and human bodies to Neufert's all-encompassing octametric system. Never a bound volume, the latter was sketched out in diary entries between 1936 and 1942 on folded DIN A4 sheets (themselves normed) and organized in a card index. Reading them across their medial states, this article investigates the material, methodological and ideological character of Neufert's Lehren. This is not the story of a hand book; rather, this is a story of constructing Lehre one sheet at a time.InformationThe written permission of Cambridge University Press must be obtained for commercial re-use or in order to create a derivative work. CopyrightBut it also instructed architects how to draw or hold a pencil, and prescribed the spatial dimensions for all activities in the household. Footnote 4 In 1943, this system was published in Neufert's Bauordnungslehre ('Building Order Treatise', BOL, a compendium of norms for the building industry): his second manual. Footnote 6. The German Institute for Norms (DIN), founded in 1917 under the name Normenausschu.By 1926, the committee changed its name accordingly and dropped the Industrie from its name, announcing its total scope as Deutscher Normenausschu? (German Norm Committee): thousands of DIN norms now regulated German building production and household items from doorknobs to postcards. Footnote 7 Scaled up (and down), the military origins of efficiency and control were taken up by engineers to construct a safe post-First World War German state. Modern architects such as Gropius took the total ambition of the DIN to heart and saw in the norm's principle the opportunity for the design of a new social order.For Neufert, his books were the necessary tool to prepare architects for the materialized totality of norms that the DIN had envisioned: an ordered life, furnished with normed objects, lived within standardized houses. Neufert's ambition, indebted both to the total aspirations of modern architecture and to his technocratic, indiscriminate methodology, made his work all the more suitable for the total instrumentalization of aesthetics for politics by the National Socialist regime. Rather, it consists of a series of diary entries on folded paper sheets, an order mechanism, and a plan for future publication ( Figure 1 ). Footnote 11 And yet for Neufert himself it was a central piece of his oeuvre, the missing piece to bridge the scale from building to life, by organizing and ordering his mind with the same technique and rigour as his architecture. Despite the deceiving appearance (after all, it never became a book), this planned manual, too, bears the label Lehre, and this manual, too, followed Neufert's work process developed in his years of teaching and writing.Archiv der Moderne, Bauhaus-Universitat Weimar. Photograph by the author. These depictions were based in turn on Neufert's teaching methods that he had developed at the Bauhochschule Weimar under Otto Bartning's directorship, Footnote 12 where he taught, starting in 1926 (at a mere twenty-six years old), a course called Rapid Design (Schnellentwerfen). Footnote 13 Presented with concise, programmatically specific briefs, the students were tasked to come up with a functional design solution within mere hours, submitted on DIN A paper sheets. Insert in Bauwelt, Bauwelt-Verlag, 1935. If a manual is not a stand-alone work, but part of a larger body of work (not bound to books), our understanding of a manual's intentions and effects necessarily shifts scales. The declared message (or audience) of such a handbook changes if one zooms out to include related works, transcending the distinctions of medium, edition or format altogether. Seemingly clear-cut handbooks might suddenly seem closer to a different genre; conversely, notes jotted down in a diary can become a manual in their own right. After all, what is the material and methodological condition that actually makes a manual if what constitutes Neufert's Lehren were not the distributed books. Rather than an embossed title on the spine of a finished volume, they share a methodological and material procedure: they all consist of a series of DIN A formatted sheets collected in books, bureaucratic brochures or indexed diary entries, all subject to Neufert's formatting and sorting process. All three of the Lehren are attempts to order the world, be it built, designed or imagined. Through first dividing this world into parts, formatting them and categorizing them, Neufert's Lehren were meant to enable the reader to then construct a new, norm-conforming world from these parts. In fact, this essay posits that what produced Neufert's Lehren (both published and not) was the very act of formatting itself: of paper, of architecture and of subjects. The thirty-three-volume Handbuch der Architektur, the BEL 's most prominent (and extensive) predecessor, was launched in 1880, nine years after the founding of the new German empire. Footnote 17 Rapidly evolving (and changing) industrial standards and production processes additionally required up-to-date knowledge and information.In the late 1930s and early 1940s when Neufert published his BEL and BOL (in 1936 and 1943 respectively), architecture had become not just a series of monuments for the Third Reich, but a methodological strategy across scales. At the same time, industrialized production surged during wartime, and several attempts to fuse the diverse manufacturers’ catalogues into a compendium for practising architects, as theorist and historian Gernot Weckherlin describes, were published during these two decades. Footnote 18 Historian Anson Rabinbach has studied the aesthetic measures and manipulations of the National Socialist regime in their political context, detecting a marked shift in the perception and practice of design in the 1930s from the volkisch rhetoric and aesthetic toward an embracing of technology as aesthetics. Footnote 19 But this was not a clean-cut succession of styles. Nazism provided little design innovation, nor did it ever really break from Weimar modernism’. Footnote 21 So what was it that Neufert aimed to teach through his manuals. Neufert's expertise as modernist, norm specialist and bureaucrat uniquely qualified him to shape Germany's new national landscape: a design task beyond the built. The strategy was conceived by and carried out under the auspices of the architect and technocrat Speer. Footnote 23 He conceived of the National Socialist organization on several scales: he was instrumental to Germany's Gestaltung as Third Reich. As director of Organisation Todt (OT), a paramilitary building organization active mostly in the occupied territories, he oversaw the building of bunkers and defense structures from 1940. It was under Speer's superintendence that Neufert was called in to become the regime's norm expert in 1938. Footnote 26 A search for the eternal laws, the rules of architecture’. Footnote 30 Footnote 32. Diary entry, 15 August 1942, Archiv der Moderne, Bauhaus-Universitat Weimar. Footnote 37 To shape life into order, sleep needed to be regulated just like working hours or floor plans. According to Peter Galison's analysis, philosophers such as Ludwig Wittgenstein and Otto Neurath were looking for a logical design for modern life that they called Lebensgestaltung as well, for which they deemed the modern architect to be the ideally fitted person, and the architects of the Bauhaus took their philosophical cues to understand the physical world as one built from elemental parts. Footnote 38 But where Galison's analysis stresses the logic of modernism as one of constructivist assembly, Neufert's approach was one of divisibility as technique across scales. In that sense, Neufert surpassed the project of the Viennese circle of the logical positivists: where they had aimed to construct complexity from parts, the DIN assumed the world to be already made of parts. However, the striving for an encyclopedic entirety in bound form accompanies his thinking. He criticizes the building norms of the DIN due to their lack of being thought of as a divisible system, and rather being thought of as parts:The planner is then often annoyed and relinquishes the use of norms at large. This defeats the purpose of norm making. Footnote 41 This desire for a formatted life and an order of thought was for Neufert directly linked to the praxis of making; as practitioner, Neufert was looking for a technique for ordering, or rather for making order possible in the first place. To arrive at this order, he divided things, even thoughts, and reconnected them through a larger system: the diary index, or the octametric measure system. Footnote 43 In a drawing for the second edition of the BOL, Neufert illustrated several division methods for circles, trying to demonstrate the superiority of the two principles: if one assumed a metric system and divided a circle with a thousand units in half, and again, and again, one would arrive at Neufert's measure for the octametric system. Footnote 44. Furnished with this tool, Neufert could now proceed to seamlessly link from brick to man, house to furniture, and work processes to paper sizes.Beyond the creation of an encyclopedic kit of parts for architectural production (as in BEL ), or a complete norm measure system for architecture (as in BOL ), it was in his diary that Neufert developed instructions and formats as tools to design the very subject of life and how to live it. This diary, however, was neither a conventional journal nor a loose collection of thoughts, but a collection of index cards organized with abbreviations into different categories. The resulting card catalogue embodied the nineteenth-century technique seemingly promising the documentation and production of universal knowledge. The abbreviations corresponded with architectural typologies and categories in his books, turning the diary into a materialization of its own logic: an index that would produce manuals not just for architecture, but for Lebensgestaltung. Footnote 50 What constituted such thought was as diverse as his architectural scales, ranging from brick to city: they could be excerpts from Reader's Digest editions or a quote by Nietzsche followed by a series of time slots for lunch, coffee and nap on a workday. They did not need to be original, as long as they were formatted correctly in the diary sheet system. Thus transformed into carriers of recorded information, the diary sheets became part of a catalogue system, and were maintained, updated and corrected accordingly. Footnote 51 Most of the sorted entries are from the late 1930s and the early 1940s, with annotations into the 1980s. As sheets in an index they became sortable, storable and interconnected, a tool to order existing ideas and generate new ones. Hence it was Neufert's index diary that remained an active format for decades, as commentaries and additions reaching into the 1980s demonstrate. Footnote 52 Porstmann, a mathematician, had defined the format through theorems and a process of division. For the DIN, the card index had become tool and material for its own norm production.The paper's size and categorization were the most consistent qualities of the papers in the diary: the sheets varied in colour (from white to brown to pink), sometimes were lined, sometimes consisted of ripped-out graph paper from a journal, but most often were blank. Yet unaffected by the printed structure or its time of origin, Neufert's handwriting remained uniform across the pages. Writing in fountain pen with varying colours of ink, he sometimes switched to pencil, and made accompanying sketches (of a building he saw in a dream, furniture details or his paper-folding technique) with the same tool. Reworking the entries time and again, he layered inks, lead and insights onto the normed sheets, becoming author and editor, commentator and subject. Footnote 56 Part of the work for the second edition (1961) consisted of the reformatting of the content onto the normed paper format. As both a normed object and a carrier of further norms, the two-dimensional sheet of paper was represented graphically as surrounded by an ever-expanding entourage ( Gefolge ) capable of formatting space. Soon after came the norm for the filing cabinet, and lastly the building that housed this normed furniture. That building, in turn, was built from normed parts: the window, the door, the brick all were defined by DIN norms. Neufert accordingly planned office buildings around paper-stack dimensions, promoted furniture suitable to roll out DIN A0 plans, Footnote 57 and repeatedly based his measure system on the paper format series. Footnote 59 And yet a certain yearning for a discipline that would come naturally, that might not require the constant Selbsteinrede and guilt that would come with it, seems to seep through the rationalized visions of farm living in his diary.
