pubs.rights-statement	Some architectural documents have the capacity of unveiling cultural symptoms. The book that defines European architectural standards, Neufert, is one of them. First published in Germany in 1936, it best exemplifies the project of optimization and standardization of bodies, and eventually life itself that soon shifted the history of Europe. 1936, Prolog investigates the corrections, changes and amendments to the different introductions of Neufert, from the first edition to the most recent 14th Spanish edition from 1995. It focus specifically on the seemingly objective language of these pieces avoids any ideological evaluation of the project in hands. Rather, the prologs list the committees, institutions and experts validating the scientific nature of its contents, but fail to contextualize Neufert’s standardization project, alluding instead to the corrections that healed the obsolescence of the original text. Its value has been attested to by its inclusion in the exhibition The Neufert Variations curated by Martin Braathen for the 0047 Gallery in Oslo in 2012.	en_US
