Time-Saver Standards for Building Types is a handbook about the architectural planning of buildings. It describes each building type, such as a school, a museum, or a theater, and presents general criteria for, and illustrates the functional relationships between, its component parts. This book does not, as do most architectural books, present the final aesthetic expression of a particular building. The material is intended to be used to assist in the process of designing the building and to ensure that the building functions properly for its particular use.
