1.A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction (Center for Environmental Structure Series)A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction (Center for Environmental Structure Series)
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $40.95

Customer Review:
I bought this book after reading the glowing reviews on amazon. It was also an inspiration for Will Wright to make SimCity and the SIMS..... so I had high expectations.
I was shocked to find how opinionated and philosophical the book is. I expected the book to look at the history of cities,... more info

I bought this book for my son who just declared his major in college to be architecture. He has been reading it for a few days and when I asked him if he liked it he said it was pretty good and that is good enough for me.

Okay, so I havent actually read the book but Cameron Sinclair came to my school a month ago to give a lecture based on the book.

4.Delirious New York: A Retroactive Manifesto for ManhattanDelirious New York: A Retroactive Manifesto for Manhattan
from Monacelli
Price: $23.10

Customer Review:
While "Delirious" has its fair share of archispeak, Mr. Koolhaas pulls off an intelligent, fun and thought-provoking take on the early 20th century building culture of New York.
One of the quirkier aspects of "Delirious" is Mr. Koolhaas's analysis of Coney Island: an "incubator for Manhattan's... more info

5.Thinking ArchitectureThinking Architecture
from Birkhäuser Basel
Price: $26.40

Customer Review:
Reading this book was like reading a long-lost secret manual of
"How to become a 21 century Samurai..." I guess that sense of delusion rises because the content and the tone of book has this (quasi) idea of medieval perfection achieved through a repetition of hands-on practice. "I do not work... more info

7.Atlas of Novel TectonicsAtlas of Novel Tectonics
from Princeton Architectural Press
Price: $19.77

Customer Review:
maybe I was once again fooled by how sexy this book is, but I pandered to every word Jesse and Nakano had for me inside. The short entries are well composed and illustrated, have great arguments, and the entire thing can be gobbled up in an afternoon or two.
Currently the book is in my bag, and... more info

9.The Hidden DimensionThe Hidden Dimension
from Anchor
Price: $11.16

Customer Review:
I read this book in the 70's and loved it. It was eye-opening, and I was astounded by his level of perception. I owned it, lost it in a move, and finally couldn't stand to be without it. So after 20 years, I got this book and a number of his other books. Edward T. Hall is an American gem, and all of... more info

from Universe Publishing
Price: $26.37

Customer Review:
I was looking for mid-century houses that were more in the middle classes, and you do not get that here.
These are all high-end, very expansive homes, similar to the type one might come across in Dwell magazine. The book is nicely set up, with thick, distinctive paper used, and the book coming... more info
