New to the forum with one very specific question. I'm an interior designer with a real estate developer, and we also dabble in urban design as well.
It's extremely fast-paced and I don't always have time to delve deep into all the different construction standards for this or that. Not to say, we skip them, but I personally would like more options in terms of possibilities.
In the past, I've found the website dimensions.com helpful in a jiff. But it seems limited. I have a mountain of standards books but.....there's too much writing! I don't have the time to sit there and read pages and pages, when all I need are dimensions. Yes, I am asking for a picture book.
Is there, at all, a book out there that is just filled with diagrams and measurements - similar to dimensions.com. Whether it's construction, architecture, interior design, urban design?
I am aware that different countries will have different standards, and that's not an issue for me. Any information would at least be a good starting point.
Thank you!

Second to AGS would be: Time Saver Standards for Interior Design and Space Planning. Incredibly useful with hundreds of diagrams and drawings.
