In our post-9/11 world, safety and security have become an increasingly important consideration for the designers of offices, hospitals, schools, and other public and private facilities. To assist students in developing the mind-set of considering security from the start of a project, Design and Security in the Built Environment focuses on how the psychological and physical aspects of security relate to interior design. The authors recognize that design professionals must also take into account sustainability, accessibility, innovation, sense of place, and a host of other issues. In this book, they offer a seamless connection between security and these other functional, social, aesthetic, and economic considerations. Interior design students enrolled in courses such as human factors, codes and building standards, and environmental psychology will find inspiration in this text as they learn about meeting security needs in the built environment.
