4.Universe of Stone: A Biography of Chartres CathedralUniverse of Stone: A Biography of Chartres Cathedral
from Harper
Price: $18.45

Customer Review:
Why would someone write a biography of a BUILDING? Well, if you've ever been to Chartres Cathedral just a few dozen miles south-east of Paris, you'd know why. Chartres continues to provoke us with its emotive power, and its place in the history of Gothic architecture is firmly secured at "page 1" in... more info

5.The Pillars of the EarthThe Pillars of the Earth
from Signet
Price: $7.99

Customer Review:
I read this book years ago but still has remained very fresh in my mind. Great masterpiece, full of passion, action, middle ages atmosphere, cruel as the times were. Pity there are not so many books like this one. Read recently World without end, also very good but not up to Pillars. If anyone can... more info

6.Brunelleschi s Dome: How a Renaissance Genius Reinvented ArchitectureBrunelleschi's Dome: How a Renaissance Genius Reinvented Architecture
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $11.20

Customer Review:
No, this isn't a book about an Italian guy with a big head, although Filippo Brunelleschi certainly had a massive ego. Brunelleschi's Dome is about the city of Florence generally during one of the greatest periods of genius and creativity in human history. It is also, specifically, about the life of... more info

from Modern Library
Price: $14.93

Customer Review:
In an age when architects and planners were spouting all kinds of brave-new-world nonsense (or mindlessly absorbing it, or even worse - building it), Jacobs burst onto the scene with an incredible dose of sanity mixed with common sense and wisdom, carefully observing the urban environment and... more info

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.

9.Collections of NothingCollections of Nothing
from University Of Chicago Press
Price: $13.60

Customer Review:
William Davies King is an eccentric genius who bares his soul in this astute, frightfully intimate, and painfully honest exploration of the psychology of collecting. The writing is exquisite and witty (e.g. "They would become playful wrights, and I would knot" and "What I was missing was the middle... more info

10.Designing InteractionsDesigning Interactions
from The MIT Press
Price: $28.35

Customer Review:
I only read one chapter whose field I am familiar with and then judged about the book, so I might be unfair. However, this book is written not entirely right on the mark. It is a bit sketchy.
When a book is a collection of writings from different authors with topics not carefully organized and... more info
