2.A Place of My Own: The Architecture of DaydreamsA Place of My Own: The Architecture of Daydreams
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $4.49

Customer Review:
I love Michael Pollan's books-- I think he's a great researcher and is very good at presenting that information. However, any time he writes about his own experiences this annoying voice and character emerges-- that of a geek, perhaps-- and it's definitely not someone you want to spend a few hours... more info

3.The Architecture of Happiness (Vintage)The Architecture of Happiness (Vintage)
from Vintage
Price: $10.40

Customer Review:
This is a beautiful book---in terms of content, in terms of format, and even as a physical object. Vintage, at least in the paperback edition I purchased, really went the extra mile and printed the text and the numerous photographs on glossy, heavy bond paper.
Near the end of the book, de... more info

The Bjarke Ingels Group makes great use of the comic book medium to deliver a compelling and engaging narrative about design, process and culture.

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

Customer Review:
In many ways, the reading of this book reminded me of the writings of Louis Kahn: both explicit and metaphorical reflections on the inner complexities of the apparent simplicities of daily life. The selections of almost inscrutable photographs, extreme close-ups of sections of Zumthor's house, act... more info

6.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
Price: $37.29

Customer Review:
This classic architecture work contains abundant wisdom and practical direction for living for every thinking person. I first read it nearly thirty years ago and used its principles to create a garden that delights to this day. When I found it again, I was eager to read the parts I had skipped over... more info

7.Delirious New York: A Retroactive Manifesto for ManhattanDelirious New York: A Retroactive Manifesto for Manhattan
from Monacelli
Price: $20.66

Customer Review:
The author presents in concise fashion his own version of New York City's urban development history.
One may or may not be convinced by his thesis that there is a specific New York City psyche that is reflected over time in a wide variety of constructions.
But one can only be enthralled by... more info

8.Atmospheres: Architectural Environments - Surrounding ObjectsAtmospheres: Architectural Environments - Surrounding Objects
from Birkhäuser Basel
Price: $26.40

Customer Review:
This was a good narration but similar content was covered in 'thinking architeture' which covers this and more. Interesting insight into the perception of architecture. A good book to read when you have stopped designing architecture, and are instead only designing buildings.

9.Atlas of Novel TectonicsAtlas of Novel Tectonics
from Princeton Architectural Press
Price: $16.23

Customer Review:
Yet another example of great architects with great ideas using obscene amounts of archispeak.
Even though RUR chops the reading into 2-3 paragraph length chapters--more digestible chunks--it only kind of eases the hassle of sifting through the jargon. Don't get me wrong, the ideas are... more info
