Great changes have happened to the design of warehouses and distribution centers. People not only begin to pay much attention to control the expense of construction, but start to take technical and safety requirements into consideration. The architects are faced with a number of challenges including the growing shortage of cheap land and the increasing demand cast upon distribution centers. This book consists of two parts, a system of basic theories, guidelines and design standards, as well as a collection of warehouse and distribution center projects throughout the world to serve both referential and inspirational purposes.
