Apotheken - Architektur und Raumgestaltung Buchkatalog

The book shows in more than 60 executed, contemporary projects from Germany, Austria and Switzerland how this strictly regulated sales room can still be excellently designed. Detailed texts explain the special design conditions. In recent years the design of pharmacies has opened up completely new possibilities with the introduction of order picking devices and touchscreens. The boundary between view and free choice is softened and the space can be used for a wide variety of purposes much more easily. How do pharmacists deal with the rapidly growing competition from online retailing? What specific conditions need to be taken into account when building pharmacies? Is the hand sales table really indispensable? What will the pharmacy of the future focus on? All these questions and much more can be found in this book, with a wide variety of interesting and exciting answers. Detailed illustrations, backed up with concise texts and basic plan drawings, help the reader to understand the architect's concept. A pharmacy that takes us on a journey through time, pharmacies that refer to their tradition in modern form, careful conversions and complete new designs, pharmacies with straight, symmetrical lines and those that almost resemble living rooms in their appearance - all this is united in this book.
