Manolova, Dobrina: CRYPTIC PLACE How do the concepts of place and space intertwine with our emotional capacities in shaping the private and public realms of the modern everyday, VDM VERLAG DR. MÜLLER, Oktober 2010, Besorgungstitel - vorauss. Lieferzeit 3-5 Tage. ISBN: 3639289110
The book explores the connection between a person's urban surroundings and subconsciousness as a major factor in defining the concepts of space and place. The author looks at how empty and abandoned space takes the form of a meaningful and emotionally- charged social haven through memory, attachment and interaction. From the boundaries of the home to shared public gardens and streets, space is endlessly moulded according to a shifting personal and social consciousness. Looking at Freud's notions of the heimlich and unheimlich takes us around a city not merely as a physical construction but as a structure inside a person's mind that could be regarded as both a personal and intimate realm, as well as shared with others in order to form an emotionally stained place of high private and public significance.

Bal, Ufuk: Utilization of Urban Design Principles in Designing the Urban Space Case Studies on the Netherlands and Turkey, LAP LAMBERT ACADEMIC PUBLISHING, Februar 2011, Besorgungstitel - vorauss. Lieferzeit 3-5 Tage. ISBN: 3844302700
This book aims to develop a concept model as a tool for successful urban space design by defining general principles and therefore to stress the importance of defining and using these criteria when realizing projects. Moreover, this book aims to provide concrete examples for designers to get to know how to integrate these principles practically into design and implementation process. In this framework, the debate on the definition of urban design has been put forward. The historical development of urban design has been presented in order to understand the past experiences and attempts in creating 'successful' urban space. The principles of urban design, which are crucial to develop a key model for designing the urban space, have been used to monitor the projects from the Netherlands and Turkey with making comparative study between them. As a consequence, importance and necessity of urban design principles in order to create successful urban space and the importance of urban design for the future of the cities has been presented.

Hardardottir, Pordis: Dynamic Light Retreat, for human visual comfort in living spaces STH KTH The Lighting Laboratory, ALD ARCHITECTURAL LIGHTING DESIGN 2009, LAP LAMBERT ACADEMIC PUBLISHING, September 2011, Besorgungstitel - vorauss. Lieferzeit 3-5 Tage. ISBN: 3845442441
With people spending most of their time indoors, an ever increasing demand for energy savings has placed the advantages on access of renewable energy sources. This Thesis, attempts to define a methodology for sustainable lighting design. Since there exists a common misinterpretation of defining sustainability due to artificial lighting energy consumption only, a counter action is needed to preserve the sustainability of luminous environments. Thus, the effort of this work is meant to explore the criteria of sustainability in order to reveal the greater context lighting of spaces pertains, than placing fluorescent fixtures to ceilings and claim sustainability. Day lighting has become an emerging feature of building design process, while the required energy efficiency of artificial light sources has banned the incandescent light bulb. LED s are emerging on the market on a light-wave speed. The issue affects a large range of professionals and their decision making process for urban planning, including the building design professions, building management industries and communities.

Darren,Robinson: Computer Modelling for Sustainable Urban Design Physical Principles, Methods and Applications, Taylor & Francis Ltd., Dezember 2011 ISBN: 1844076792
This is the first book to directly address the physics of urban sustainability and how urban sustainability may be modelled and optimised. Starting with an introduction to the importance and key aspects of the topic, it moves on to a detailed consideration of the urban climate and pedestrian comfort. Comprehensive techniques for the modelling and optimisation of urban metabolism are then described, together with means for defining sustainability as the fitness function to be optimised. It ends with an eye to the future of sustainable urban design and the means available to urban designers and governors to help them to secure a more sustainable urban future. This book will be invaluable both in informing the next generation of urban planners, architects and engineers, and as a tool to current professionals that will directly contribute to the effectiveness of their work by allowing them to more successfully measure and model urban sustainability.
