Annotated Bibliography

"Each chapter of this volume is accompanied by its own references that can also be regarded as invitations to explore, in greater detail, the topics brought into discussion. Nevertheless, this annotated bibliography has the role of showcasing and reviewing a diversity of books as resources to be used in the endeavour of approaching specific context-related topics that are of particular interest to each reader. The variety of theoretical, conceptual or applied perspectives presented in each of the titles listed below reflects the complexity of the parameters addressed both individually and in combination. Applied in specific contexts, the parameters translate into layers of understanding, through reading, analysis, synthesis and interpretation of the data uncovered, and they have the potential to lead to well-guided design outcomes.
This bibliography reiterates some of the books referenced in previous chapters, which are considered fundamental and/or instrumental in architecture and urban planning analysis, and it also adds others that expand on certain dimensions and parameters or explore them through different lenses, emphasizing contextual relevance as a key requirement."
