1.101 Things I Learned in Architecture School101 Things I Learned in Architecture School
from The MIT Press
Price: $10.15

Customer Review:
Fantastic book for architecture students. Lots of short, simple lessons that make clear all the stuff my instructors never fully explained. What's a "parti?" What is postmodernism? What do positive and negative space have to do with anything? Those and a lot more, plus some well chosen quotes give... more info

2.Colin Cowie Chic: The Guide to Life As It Should BeColin Cowie Chic: The Guide to Life As It Should Be
from Clarkson Potter
Price: $19.80

Customer Review:
As a fellow perfectionist, I enjoyed this book greatly. It's not a heavy read, it's light with pictorial images to support it. Just reading it and looking at the images made me want to immediately rectify my own living and working space. Some of his ideas are common sense, some just great ideas, and... more info

3.Photovoltaics: Design and Installation ManualPhotovoltaics: Design and Installation Manual
from New Society Publishers
Price: $37.77

Customer Review:
There is no such thing as a perfect book, but I have read all of those other books on solar. None of them tell you how to setup a system. This one does. It comes as close to perfect as you they get.

5.Apartment Therapy Presents: Real Homes, Real People, Hundreds of Design SolutionsApartment Therapy Presents: Real Homes, Real People, Hundreds of Design Solutions
from Chronicle Books
Price: $18.15

Customer Review:
I'm a modern design junkie (magazines, books, blogs, web sites and oh yeah, actual decorating of our 975 square foot condo in a 100-year-old building). When I heard about this book I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. . . but I was a little disappointed. I enjoyed the text and the way each... more info

6.Building Construction IllustratedBuilding Construction Illustrated
from Wiley
Price: $32.97

Customer Review:
Book is very good for research and beginners learning building construction. I have used the earlier editions often for research. But the 4th ed. the print and the size of font is smaller and lighter in color and is hard to read even which my glasses on.

from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $40.95

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

9.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 about 45 miles south-west 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 our... more info
