Don,

What do you mean by that exactly?

Can you provide additional resource materials?

I think it might be a challenge... Most of our security concerns have been post 9/11. Sure, there was stuff around before that, but nothing like today. It's too new, too recent and most academics probably aren't up-to-date on their theory to include "security" as an important design element. Most practicing architects are too busy running their business to spend time writing books...

I don't recall there being 14-15 books written on the topic...

That is very true. It seems hard, and it looks like there will need to be whitepapers as replacement for these non-existant books.

Sure, but how much of it was publicly published? Isn't the point of some of the security stuff to keep people from knowing just how it works so they can't circumvent it?

EDS,

Thanks.

I just went down to the AIA Headquarters (across from the White House) here in D.C. and picked up a book on "Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design" (CPTED).

That should be good too.

Here are my current collection of Physical Security books or books that contain chapters specifically pertaining to.

Sounds like time to mention "defensible space".

Gruhn,

I do now have that large printout from the Department of Housing as the book is out of print.

Thanks.
