Underground Space Design: Part 1: Overview of Subsurface
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Carmody, John / Sterling, Raymond L. / Carmody, PUBLISHER: John Wiley & Sons, Underground space development may be one of the most significant was to contend with urban predicaments such as congestion, lack of open space, and aging infrastructures. However, ong>designong>ers must consider whether or not people will be willing to live and work in what could be perceived as inhospitable environments. Should people be required to work in underground facilities, Or should underground space be used solely for mechanical or transit services and low-occupancy functions such as storage? What must ong>designong>ers do to create subsurface spaces that will avoid or alleviate the psychological and physiological problems associated with being underground? Underground Space ong>Designong> is the first comprehensive book on subsurface space utilization throughout the world. The authors supply a complete overview of the entire range of underground uses by reflecting on the past, present, and future of underground development. Underground Space ong>Designong> is the result of a five-year joint research study by the Underground Space Center at the University of Minnesota and the Shimizu Institute of Technology in Japan. This thorough, scholarly, and practical source offers extensive coverage of the relevant topics including: * an analysis of current underground land use * the future of underground development * comprehensive set of classifications * a summary of existing research on psychological issues * exterior and entrance ong>designong> patterns * layout and spatial configuration patterns * interior ong>designong> patterns * methods of lighting * life safety ong>designong> patterns Elaborately ong>designong>ed and illustrated, this book is the first complete source to present the broad range of underground ong>designong> and uses, making it an ideal reference for architects, interior ong>designong>ers, civil engineers, geotechnical engineers, city planners, developers, and environmental psychologists. Underground Space ong>Designong> is also an excellent introduction to the field, precisely serving the needs of students and other professionals.
