The architect's primary source for information on designing for
egress, evacuation, and life safety, Egress Design Solutions,
Emergency Evacuation and Crowd Management Planning, is written
by proven experts on egress issues. Meacham and Tubbs are engineers
with Arup, an international firm with a stellar reputation for
quality design and engineering. Their book examines egress
solutions in terms of both prescriptive and performance-based code
issues. A portion of the book focuses on techniques for providing
egress design solutions and for coordinating egress systems with
other critical life safety systems. Another part reviews historic
and recent tragic life-loss fire events. As such, this is easily
the most comprehensive take on the subject, written especially for
architects.
