A great list…! One of my favorite books from school, and still to this day, is ‘A Pattern Language’ by Christopher Alexander.

Finding this channel has been the best thing for my path to becoming an architect. Although I'm an industrial designer, I discovered a passion for architecture during my last year of university. So, I'm studying on my own through practice, lectures, and work.

As neither an architect, designer nor an artist, but someone that has an interest in those fields, I have to say that your channel is fucking awesome! I found this video through the algorithm, which means that probably a lot of other people will see this video sooner or later. You deserve more views.

Of all the architects who have yoututbe channels, I found your book recommendation the most useful. You weren't showing random portfolios from big architecture firms rather you followed both a practical and artistic approach to share your knowledge with us. Hope you do a similar video on urbanism as well. Thank you for your time.

I use "Time Saver Standards," "Visual Dictionary of Architecture" by D.K. Ching and "Architectural Graphic Standards" by Ramsey Sleeper but i use the 1970's edition. It's the best version i read so far. Time Saver Standards is the most expensive book of the three.

I talk specifically about "A Pattern Language" in the video "Form Follows Function in Architecture" at about the 9:00 minute mark. Here: kzitem.info/news/bejne/pZeutXijf6B_aYo "A Pattern Language" is from the Postmodern period, so I don't recommend it. But if you want to understand the transition from Modernism to Postmodernism I suggest reading "Notes on the Synthesis of Form" then read "A Pattern Language". Both books are by Alexander.

@@headcrusher1966 Thanks so much! I think the most important thing to come out of 'A Pattern Language' is architect's use of 'Case Studies' to analyze appropriate building form. This looks at existing typologies and ways of using a building as the starting point for a design.

00:30 📚 Architecture is based on three forms of knowledge: commodity (structure), firmness (utility), and delight (art). 02:43 🏛 "History of Modern Architecture since 1900" is a crucial textbook for understanding modern architecture. 03:10 📖 "Graphic History of Architecture" is a great introductory book on the history of architecture with key concepts. 03:38 📐 "Concepts and Principles: Architecture Form Space and Order" is recommended for first-year architecture students. 05:01 🏙 "The Production of Space" explores how social forces, not just architects, shape the built environment. 06:48 🤔 Develop your own architectural theories and ideas instead of relying solely on others. 07:02 🎨 Drawing inspiration from fine arts, like Andrew Wyeth, can influence architectural design. 09:36 🛠 "Engineering for Architects and Builders" simplifies structural engineering with basic math. 10:43 💼 "The Architect's Handbook of Professional Practice" is essential for understanding the business and project management side of architecture. 11:35 📐 "Architectural Graphic Standards" is a reference book for architectural details and design. 12:42 📖 Architects must study building codes thoroughly to meet legal requirements. 13:52 🏗 "Towards a New Architecture" by Le Corbusier is a highly influential book that changed the approach to modern architecture.

You can't learn to practice architecture from books. You either have an innate understanding of how humans utilise space or you don't. The rest is just wankery - egotistical tomfoolery. As for Le Corbusier, his interpretation of "Architecture" has lead to the worst travesties of functional planning. It was pity that Architects have lost their position at the top of the design and build hierarchy to Project Managers, Quantity Surveyors and Accountants.
