I am doing a project on the physical aspects of security in a comparative analysis between the United States and Scandinavia.
I am in need of approximately 20 books for a research project on designing with security in mind.
I am comparing United States Architecture with Scandinavian Architecture with regards to security.
The following books I have in my possession.
Security - Planning & Design - A Guide for Architects and Building Design Professionals, AIA (2004) Effective Physical Security - Third Edition, Lawrence J. Fennelly (2004) Building Security (Red Book) - Handbook for Architectural Planning and Design. Nadel (2004) Creating Defensible Space - U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (1996) History of the United States Capital - A chronicle of design, construction and politics, William C. Allen (2001) Computer Security Handbook (Chapter 14 only) - 4th Edition (2002) Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design - Timothy D. Crowe (2000) Security and Site Design - American Society of Landscape Architects (2005) Design Out Crime - Creating Safe and Sustainable Communities - Ian Colquhoun (2004) The Hidden Dimension - Edward Hall Personal Space: The Behavioral Basis of Design - Robert Sommers Behavior in Public Spaces - Irving Goffman
If someone could help me with about 9 more books, including any emphasizing security techniques in Scandinavia as well, I would appreciate it.
I would like to break down these 20 books into 5 segments of 4 books to span a study period of approximately 6 months.
Concepts that I'd like more information on are
- Security by Obscurity
- Transparent Security
- Minimalist Architecture being analogous to the Physical Security Requirements of today.
- Temperature and its affect on crime
I eagerly look forward to any suggestions for materials you could provide.
Best Regards,
