The most detailed, university architecture major must study for 5 years, which can be downloaded free of charge in the architect forum, and there are many building plans and materials. A must see (related to the course) and b recommend (architectural literacy)

A

1 20 year old architect

Authors: Tadao Ando Architectural Laboratory, Faculty of Engineering, University of Tokyo.

Translator: Wang Jianguo/Fei Yishan

Publishing House: Tsinghua University Publishing House

Highlight: It is easy to understand, and the book is full of the love and persistence of architectural masters.

2 "Types and Modernism"

Author: Jabez

Press: China Building Industry Press

Recommended reason: It is a very good reference for the composition class of freshmen, and it is very helpful for training modeling ability and expression means. Compared with the composition book written by Tsinghua, it is much better and more interesting. But enough pictures are good enough. Junior students fall into simple plagiarism and still have to learn the logical method of modeling.

3 "External Space Design"

Author: Liangxin Luyuan

Translator: Yin Peitong

Recommended reason: I have to do a course design every freshman year, but it's a little hard to find, so I must read it.

4 "Communication and Space"

Author: (Denmark) Gael

Press: China Building Industry Press

Recommended reason: This book analyzes in detail the ways to attract people to walk, rest, stop and play in public spaces from houses to cities, so as to promote people's social interaction and put forward many original opinions. Is to discuss the basic problems of space.

5 Architecture: Form, Space and Order (Second Edition)

Author: Frank Ching

Press: Tianjin University Press

Highlight: On the 10 floor, many senior students have it. It is enough to start from one point, thick enough to lay the foundation and heavy enough. This kind of book is to be read repeatedly, even in junior year. It's best not to read it once and for all. Students who feel that their basic skills are poor are especially recommended. In fact, many similar books are Peng Like Yi Gang's Theory of Architectural Space Combination, which is very boring.

6 Domus Magazine

Highlight: After the publication of the Chinese version, domestic architects are very blessed. Freshmen often read DOMUS's latest magazines to understand the concerns of people concerned by the architectural design community. Now they don't know who Koolhaas and Zaha are, and they waste time learning architecture. This magazine is very good. This is my favorite.

B

1 Le？ Corbusier's Dialogue with Students "

Author: (French) music? Corbusier foundation

Press: China Building Industry Press

Highlight: Le? Corbusier, a name that a student of modern architecture can't get around, is just like a student of philosophy can't get around Kant. Reading Corbusier is a complicated, contradictory and strange feeling, or he is a seed.

2 "Le? The whole house in Corbusier.

Author: Tadao Ando Architectural Laboratory, Faculty of Engineering, University of Tokyo

Translator: Cao Wenjun

Publishing House: Ningbo Publishing House

Recommended reason: Tadao Ando's graduate students expressed the 65,438+006 houses in Corbusier with a detailed graphic model, and the value is self-evident. (The freshman may not finish reading it, or he may not finish reading it. Repeated reading, repeated drawing and repeated analysis will yield results. )

3 "Towards a new building"

Author: Le? Corbisier

Translator: Chen Zhihua

Press: Shaanxi Normal University Press

Highlight: the great declaration of modernist architecture. Understand the most basic concepts of modernism.

4 "Street Aesthetics"

Translator: Yin Peitong

Author: Liangxin Luyuan

Publishing House: Baihua Literature and Art Publishing House

Recommended reason: The author expresses many contemporary architectural theories and rich knowledge in easy-to-understand and fluent words, which are popular but not shallow. Moreover, the author applies these theories to his own architectural creation and expounds them through a large number of his own works, so it is theoretical but not divorced from reality.

It is a very good book, recommended.

5 "Logical concept of architectural form"

Author: (Germany) Thomas? Schmidt

Translator: Thomas? Author: Schmidt/Xiao Yiqiang

Recommended reason: I thought it was a big book at first, but it was actually a very small book. The reason is clear. We should read it at the beginning. Rationality is what we lack in design.

4 Learn from Las Vegas

Author: (America) Venturi

Press: Water Resources and Hydropower Press

Highlight: In today's view, it is important to read this book with an attitude of learning from reality, rather than studying Las Vegas specifically. This is a very important book, and Koolhaas' Crazy new york is also influenced by it. Remember: learn from practice.

1 Architecture Course 2: Space and Architects
