Stuck for suggestions for Christmas gifts? Here’s the current list of most commonly shared books between members of the group I started on librarything.com a little while ago:
- The most beautiful house in the world by Witold Rybczynski
- The poetics of space by Gaston Bachelard
- The Harvard Design School Guide to Shopping / Harvard Design… by Jeffrey Inaba
- Why buildings stand up : the strength of architecture by Mario Salvadori
- The death and life of great American cities by Jane Jacobs
- The Image of the City by Kevin Lynch
- Site planning by Kevin Lynch
- An atlas of rare city maps: comparative urban design, 1830-1… by Melville Campbell Branch
- The timeless way of building by Christopher Alexander
- Great streets by Allan B. Jacobs
I have no Rybczynski, but do have some Bachelard and I’m currently proposing a trade on the group forum.
