Comprehensive guide to the many forms of underground space use and explaining the interdisciplinary skills required for effective planning and design
Underground Space: Use, Planning, and Design comprehensively describes different aspects of underground space use and emphasizes the planning and design aspects for effective underground space utilization rather than the geomechanical and construction aspects of creating these spaces. The book provides the important issues and ideas in each aspect of the subject and guides readers to the appropriate literature for further research.
Written by a team of highly qualified authors, Underground Space includes information on:
Essentials of Soil Mechanics readers will also find: - Why underground space is used and when to choose to build underground
- Psychological, sustainability, and resilience issues
- Importance of utility infrastructure uses and their management
- Recent advances made in urban underground space planning
- Interior design, layout, lighting, and safety
- Exterior and entrance design patterns
Underground Space: Use, Planning, and Design is an essential, up-to-date reference on the subject for architects, planners, and engineers in public agencies, private sectors, and research institutions. It is also valuable for use in courses on architectural design, urban planning, underground infrastructure, and infrastructure provision.
