#30x40 Design Workshop sir, i want to know which book is best for study material in architecture..i'm a architecture student i want to learn about materials
it's like the first lecture in college when the professor gives the texts and books to study. i just started studying architecture from RUclips and stuff and it's becoming a passion for me. this helped me a lot. thank you.
I’m not an architect, but my illustration work involves a lot of it so you have no idea how happy I was to find your videos! My favourite architecture books are by Simon Unwin: Doorways and his series of journals on single themes like Time and Entrance. I really want his book Analysing architecture - it’s on my wish list with the Lego book.
Poetry of Place (the work of Bobby McAlpine), Brunelleschi's Dome (this is a short little accessible book about architecture practice in the renaissance) and The American Vignola (resource for classical proportions and details). These are a few of my favorites. Thanks for the videos!
I'm not an architect but i enjoy your enthuiasm, the way you present, and how much you know. I'm a retired guy who aspires to be a maker. I don't have much money but i enjoy seeing how things are done and put together. I enjoy hearing about various materials and how they're used, and how colors and shapes are organized. You share such things and it makes me happy to see / hear. Thank you !
This is the first video of yours that I've seen. I was very impressed. The quality of the production, the structure of it, the clear and concise content, and the way you presented it all, served to create an exceptional viewing and learning experience. Well done.
Great video! As a Nova Scotian, I was delighted that you mentioned the work of Brian MacKay-Lyons. He was one of the professors who lectured the design classes in my B2 term at Dalhousie University.
Omar Gandhi critiqued part of our B1 final presentations, and he is also a sessional instructor at the university. We had the honor of learning from quite a few well known N.S Architects. One of my term tutors was Talbot Sweetapple who is Brian's business partner. So many creative minds in one place!!!
I was jumping up and down with excitement when you mention 'Form, Space, and Order' and 'Architectural Graphics' by Francis D.K. Ching. There are two of my favorite architecture books on my shelves. Can I mention 'How Designers Think' by Bryan Lawson. Great insight on how to approach design and to develop your own design methodology and skills. Helps you to understand how to find solutions to problems, (what causes constraints), and shows that thinking is a skill which everyone not may have. Even if you don't work as an architect, it can help. As problem solving is required in most jobs, e.g. scientists, accounting, engineers, managers, and even customer service! Also 'Delirious New York' by Rem Koolhaas. A great read on the history of New York's development and urbanisation.
Something I'd like to add but isn't a book is Ken Burns' PBS documentary on Frank Lloyd Wright. I watched it at the start of my second year at university in 2001, and it changed my outlook and still directs my views on architecture to this day. It's a wonderful documentary. Unfortunately, we weren't taught much about his work at my school, (too focus on modernism, post-modernism and deconstructivism, but that what happens in British and Europeans schools), so it was such an eye opener. I videoed it and show one of my tutors, who knew little of his work as well. Him and his wife (who's also an architect) found it fascinating. This is going to be my next purchase on Amazon. As that old VHS tape is probably disintegrated by now! :D
The architecture student essential-Form, Space and Order is my bible. Each time I take a peek at it, there's always something new to gain: an idea, a theory or an approach. Zumthor's Thinking Architecture is the only out of your mentioned I have also started my own little library primarily, as you have already mentioned, as a source of inspiration and to hopefully solidify my foundation. I love how your collection screams "you". It describes your interests, working style and style of architecture. Thank you for sharing it with us. And yes there's that too. Money. The wall standing between me and my own large library.
I was delightfully surprised to see Macaulay getting a mention here; he also has a fantastic animated series on some of his books which can be found right here on RUclips Also, I had a feeling this video would feature Zumthor as soon as I read the title - reckon that comes across quite evidently when you're talking (about your own projects and otherwise) on this channel. Good stuff!
thanks my friend...difficult to hide the Zumthor fan-boy side at times; not a bad place to anchor a design philosophy though, right? ...I'll have to check out Macaulay's animated series, thanks for sharing...
I’m so inspired by your videos. I’m industrial design trained but I love architecture and I’m looking for books to start me off. This video is a precious reference!
I recently started following your page. I probably watch 2 videos a night.. it's simply amazing. I feel like our ideals about architecture are exactly the same!
I've had Brian MacKay-Lyons as a professor at Dal. He is very inspiring and deeply connected with his work, and has had an enormous influence on the design methodology at the school.
This is great, I would love to see in depth reviews of some of these books. My list would have to include authors like John Ruskin, Buckminster Fuller, William McDonough... Too many to list, really. I also like the illustrations of Stephen Biesty, his books are great for introducing children to architecture. Keep up the awesome content! We all appreciate you and your work.
HeyI'm for Chile, and after a wild of dedicated myself to other things, I'm restarting with architecture and your videos are being very helpful to find the inspiration I thought it was lost .... keep making!!!
Thanks for the video! A book that I really enjoyed is Elements of English Style by Hugh Braun. His description of "good manners" vs "bad" when building within a region with a clear vernacular was eye-opening.
interesting...this is a subject we all brush up against and I bristle at the thought of blindly repeating what's come before 'just because'...would be interested to know his take on this. thanks for sharing...
I enjoyed this from the perspective of 60-year-old practitioner with a broad architectural library. In generations before mine, the Oeuvre Complete of Le Corbusier would have been one of the essentials. Our lists intersect with Ching (some, not all), AGS, and MacCauley, but I'm not as enamored with the mechanistic works of Denari, Kundig, Morphosis, Jones, and others as you. I find more of the eternal in Wright, Aalto, Piano and Hopkins. I would add to a list of a fundamentals Cyril M. Harris's Dictionary of Architecture and Construction, Michael Pollan's A Place of My Own, and Edmund N. Bacon's Design of Cities. Finally, Sir Bannister Fletcher's A History of Architecture is the mega-reference on all things historical.
Your videos are really good! thank you so much for sharing the knowledge, here in Perú there's not that much information on this topics and the education given by professors at college is very limited, please keep producing more videos!
Very inspiring! I love books, they are my companions in every struggle i had in this profession. They are very accessible where you need them anytime you want. Thank you for sharing additional insights on the other side of my interest. Kudos!
What a great peek into what inspires you. I fell in love with transarchitecture and interactive architecture during my studies and it's still my source of inspiration. So my go to's are The Art of the Accident, Hyperbody: First Decade of Interactive Architecture, and the Interactive Architecture series. Now I'm off to go flip through some pages. Thanks for putting this video and list together.
you're welcome, glad you found the channel... one of the reasons I so enjoy doing this is b/c of the variety of perspectives out there...this is a good example...I know next to nothing about transarchitecture...fascinating!
Love your videos, I recently have found them and I can't stop myself watching! I would just add in the narrative pile the Jun'ichirō Tanizaki's In praise of shadows.
Love your work .. I'm hooked. Suggestion for future video - how a customer chooses an architect (and how an architect chooses a customer, some will pass on your project). How to brief an architect to get what you want, when things go wrong with your architect (how to keep things on track and what if things go wrong - expectations management). Thanks
Yes, perhaps, I've searched high and low and found 2 architects that produce work similar to the final product that I'm looking for. Based upon their online portfolios. Both have been polite enough to exchange emails but when they hear my project is expected to cost $500k they have declined my invitation. So now I'm looking at briefing an architect that I dont really want to use and asking them to change their style to suit the final product that I have in mind. Not ideal, but if I do almost everything in terms of design and detailed spec maybe we'll come close.
Craig Lawrence I thought he was being condescending. I got an idea change your budget. you get what you pay for. just like any other professional. you can get a cheaper lawyer or a pricy one.
I suggest two seminal books by Christopher Alexander. "The Timeless Way of Building" is a philosophical discussion of the theory of architecture. "A Pattern Language" describes how it works from the macro of regional and city planning down to the micro like a front door bench. The Pattern Language can be applied to any style and period in architecture. Everything in these books should be second nature to an architect.
Nice.... I watch your stuff and subscribed to you channel so I definitely love your content... but it's occasionally tough to catch up with your speed of delivery... thanks for how clean & clear you make archi feel 👍
definitely an east coast thing...fast talkers here...maybe it's the cold weather that does it...? ...I've been trying upload Closed Caption files for each video and there's always the speed adjustment on the desktop player (hope YT incorporates this for mobile soon!)
It's so amazing to see that many of the successful architects are Metalheads. Even though only a few of us ever acknowledge it to the public once we graduate and get employed, you just know one when you see one. I always had the feeling that you were one too! \m/
Great list, thanks for that. Some of my favorites: The Building Erected in Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition of 1851, Charles Cowper and Charles Downes; Sir Banister
thank you so much for the video and for sharing the books that u adore I am a freshman at arch school these helping me to improve my skill and knowledge
Sad to say: practicing architect and top 5 arch school graduate and the only ones of your list I have are Architectural Graphic Standards and all of Chings Books. But now I know what to ask Santa for!!!
Excellent library. I'm planning to make a video on my architecture library soon as well. Frampton's Modern Architecture should be read by any student of architecture.
I love this video and your channel in general! This particular video has just affirmed something for me that I've known since I was a child; I should have been an architect. Never too late to begin. Thank you! Ps- I would like to hear your thoughts on Eric Sloane's work sometime.
Metallica is forever.🤘🏻 Design here, but your channel has great content, also very useful for my area. Thanks for the great work and greetings from Lisbon.
Hi.. i'm a student of construction environment and territory in Italy. What do you think of Modern Islamic Architecture? (4 ex. the classic patterns used on modern buildings)
hello sir, I am in 2nd year of architecture. I would really be happy if you guide us in how to analyse a floor plan or how to do a case study of any structure/house/etc before starting any college project.
Thank you very much for all information. This is what I looking for. Thank you and if you can bring more, I would thank you. Again. Congratulations for your channel.
I love listening to architectural vocabulary and you have a vast knowledge. I will probably watch this upload multiple times in the future. It's one of the many that I've bookmarked from 30x40.
God, I haven't looked at McCauley's work since I was a kid. Thanks for reminding me those are out there. I may have to try to find a few of them for MY boys.
Hey I am a Drafter, pursuing a Carrier in Achitecture, i find your information to be extremely helpful, keep up the good work man. May have a few questions as i go along, will keep in touch.
I think "Constructing Architecture; Materials, Processes, Structures" by Andrea Deplazes is one of the best books about detailing and material. It absolutely blew my mind in my bachelor's
Please make a separate video on architectural books for students, discuss the major points to be followed and if you can please provide online Pdf as well
I know this video is 5 years old so its unlikely i'm gonna get an answer but im still gonna try! I don't want to become an architect but i kinda want to learn about floor plans, i want to become a comic artist and obviously for the comic to be consistent i have to design the character's houses and rooms, which having such a plan could help me. Do you have any book recommendations that would almost exclusively consistent of floor plans? That i could use as inspirations! Or any video recommendations on how to make such plans and some basic understandings like where it would be possible to place a window or not?
Hi, do you have any book recommendations on building materials (very illustrative as the books you showed in the video) , and also on architectural innovative structures?
Thanks for the great ideas. What I miss in the list is a book about Frank Lloyd Wright. Every architect or student should know the work of Frank Lloyd Wright.
Hi ! 😁 any book for an architect starting a new job in California ? That comes from Mexico City and know the metric system but needs to change to imperial? Something like neufert? Haha , thanks !
Thanks for this! this is beautily well edited. I have Peter Zumtor Thinking Arquitecture and Francis Ching´s books. I am a 3 year student. What is next for me?
3rd year...it really depends on what you're into...urban planning, landscape, housing, residential, civic, educational, institutional...it's never too early to start learning about the technics + materials side of architecture (check out the comments for my recs there)...explore lots of ideas, read both theoretical texts and study the work of practicing architects in equal measure.
Really enjoy your videos, I'm really interested in the analysis, processes and critique of architectural design - are there any books you can recommend?
Hi Eric - really enjoy your videos and all the useful advice and information you share! I’m a senior in high school considering majoring in architecture in college - are there any book(s) you could recommend that could help me get a better understanding of and start on architecture? Cheers!
Hi . I like your books and the way that you explain those. but I am realy want to read one book that is not on this video. The name of book is "Architect and Entrepreneur".
Resource page: thirtybyforty.com/essential-architecture-books
Building Construction Illustrated by Ching, I bought the European version, great book.
thank you so much for you are the only architect as a student i refer to
#30x40 Design Workshop sir, i want to know which book is best for study material in architecture..i'm a architecture student i want to learn about materials
Which book should I refer for BTM and Design for 1st year
What's the background music
it's like the first lecture in college when the professor gives the texts and books to study.
i just started studying architecture from RUclips and stuff and it's becoming a passion for me.
this helped me a lot.
thank you.
To me Architecture is the dream, the mansion will be coming, cousin
You forgot 1 book, there is this guy that I follow he wrote a book called Architect and Entrepreneur. A book we young architects must have. cheers!
I salute you for sharing content like this. You open a door for people who has no chance for formal design education to be educated .
I’m not an architect, but my illustration work involves a lot of it so you have no idea how happy I was to find your videos! My favourite architecture books are by Simon Unwin: Doorways and his series of journals on single themes like Time and Entrance.

Thank you for your lovely videos. I'm a Civil Engineer and am Constructing a Residential Apartment. Your Videos provide a lot of insights. 🙏😊
I'm not an architect but i enjoy your enthuiasm, the way you present, and how much you know. I'm a retired guy who aspires to be a maker.

Great video! As a Nova Scotian, I was delighted that you mentioned the work of Brian MacKay-Lyons. He was one of the professors who lectured the design classes in my B2 term at Dalhousie University.
fantastic work coming from your part of the world...you must know Omar Gandhi too, right?
Omar Gandhi critiqued part of our B1 final presentations, and he is also a sessional instructor at the university. We had the honor of learning from quite a few well known N.S Architects.

Also 'Delirious New York' by Rem Koolhaas. A great read on the history of New York's development and urbanisation.

this is exactly what I hoping for...more book ideas, which actually might get expensive...

Really great to see Glenn Murcutt on the list at the end!!

You kept me watching your videos for two days ... addictive!

I like how you broke books down in "themes"
Love your work .. I'm hooked. Suggestion for future video - how a customer chooses an architect (and how an architect chooses a customer, some will pass on your project). How to brief an architect to get what you want, when things go wrong with your architect (how to keep things on track and what if things go wrong - expectations management). Thanks
I sense a theme...
Yes, perhaps, I've searched high and low and found 2 architects that produce work similar to the final product that I'm looking for. Based upon their online portfolios.

He is a creative hardworking guy. I get a lot of inspiration from you.
Thanks for the references! I would add to the last category Genius Loci by C. Norberg Schulz. This book totaly changed my way of seing the landscape.
+col:v3r fantastic...thanks for sharing...
and a
Agreed
I suggest two seminal books by Christopher Alexander. "The Timeless Way of Building" is a philosophical discussion of the theory of architecture. "A Pattern Language" describes how it works from the macro of regional and city planning down to the micro like a front door bench. The Pattern Language can be applied to any style and period in architecture. Everything in these books should be second nature to an architect.
Hello great video, I am an architecture student in Peru, I recommend books to start my library, your videos help me a lot
+TheKithers looking forest to visiting Peru one day soon...thanks for watching!
Thanks to you for your videos that help us young architects, which design books or acquitectonic tips would recommend me
In Praise of Shadows!! From an architecture student at the University of Tokyo-- mad respect |m| |m|
The book entitled: Freehand Drawing and Discovery by James Richard's and Foreword by D.K. Ching is useful too.😁👍
Great selection, I would suggest to add "The Thinking Hand" by Juhani Pallasmaa. After Zumthor's Thinking Architecture, that is second on my list.
yes...many here in the comments agree!
Nice.... I watch your stuff and subscribed to you channel so I definitely love your content... but it's occasionally tough to catch up with your speed of delivery... thanks for how clean & clear you make archi feel 👍
definitely an east coast thing...fast talkers here...maybe it's the cold weather that does it...?

Excellent library. I'm planning to make a video on my architecture library soon as well. Frampton's Modern Architecture should be read by any student of architecture.
+One Minute Architecture looking forward to seeing what's on your shelf...
I love this video and your channel in general! This particular video has just affirmed something for me that I've known since I was a child; I should have been an architect.
Never too late to begin.
Thank you!
Ps- I would like to hear your thoughts on Eric Sloane's work sometime.
always a student my friend...never too late to learn new things...
i like the way you divided the category...
Neil Denari’s work is so post-apocalyptic but so intriguing.
Metallica is forever.🤘🏻
Design here, but your channel has great content, also very useful for my area. Thanks for the great work and greetings from Lisbon.

Hi.. i'm a student of construction environment and territory in Italy.
What do you think of Modern Islamic Architecture? (4 ex. the classic patterns used on modern buildings)
+Shaz Shabir I suppose I haven't studied it enough to offer an informed opinion...
30X40 Design Workshop Thanks for replying. :) I love your videos*-*
@@shazamshabir6788 Despite you didnt ask my opinion, I think amazing.
I SAW YOUR PETER ZUMTHOR BOOKS. Omg I dream to have those! Anyway thanks for the video Eric, motivating!
cheers +Adamantive ...
with your LLC, architecture books (educational materials) are effectively 50% off...
Intresting Libray Thumbs Up , Mine is a miniature of yours but looking forward to add new ones i discovered in this video !!
+Desiree Karam excellent...I recommend Zumthor's 'thinking architecture' if you don't already own it...
+1 on Frank Ching's books. Lego--huh. Love Macaulay's work, as well. You missed A Pattern Language by Christopher Alexander, et al.
hello sir, I am in 2nd year of architecture. I would really be happy if you guide us in how to analyse a floor plan or how to do a case study of any structure/house/etc before starting any college project.
cheers...I'll add it to the request queue...
I've been waiting for this one for the longest time. Thank you!
you're welcome...!
Thank you for sharing so much knowledge and resources! I really like your holistic approach.
Thank you very much for all information. This is what I looking for. Thank you and if you can bring more, I would thank you. Again. Congratulations for your channel.
Man, I am soo glad I stumbled unto your channel. I am having a blast!!
Saludos de Perú ,tus vídeos me siguen apoyando mucho ,un gran abrazo
peace to you my friend...thanks for checking in from Peru!
Like your videos. I finally found someone that talk about architect
|m|
Keep up the good work.
i get goose bumps !! Thanks again !! you are a great mentor !
I love listening to architectural vocabulary and you have a vast knowledge. I will probably watch this upload multiple times in the future. It's one of the many that I've bookmarked from 30x40.
Like the way you explain using technical terms. Kindly suggest books on works of master architects ....illustrating with drawings. Thx
Love your vLog. Some of it, I applied on my practice. Thanks alot. Hoping to see more educational and useful videos😁👍
I suggest Precedents in Architecture, Roger Clark and Michael Pause.
+betty gershowitz agree it's a good one...wish the diagrams were larger...!
God, I haven't looked at McCauley's work since I was a kid. Thanks for reminding me those are out there. I may have to try to find a few of them for MY boys.
How about 'Architecture of Happiness' by Alain de Botton? It's a nice read too.
indeed thanks +Shane Carpio...I struggled to winnow the list down in each category...it wasn't easy!
thanks for sharing...
that is also my favorite book so far.
Thanks man! I'll be getting into some of this!
Hi... Another interesting book that I could recommending you, its Atmospheres by Peter Zumthor, great book!
Thank you so much! The video I was waiting for!
right on...glad I could deliver...
Thank you for sharing. It's just weird that we have students/architects who don't invest in books, or do critical research with them.
+1...couldn't imagine life without some of these books!
i am going to read all thees books ... thank you
you're welcome...should keep you busy for the weekend at least ;)
Wonderful !
Thanks for that!

Great suggestions!!!
Hey I am a Drafter, pursuing a Carrier in Achitecture, i find your information to be extremely helpful, keep up the good work man. May have a few questions as i go along, will keep in touch.
hit the like button after this metallica reference :D
\m/
Gergana Hristova lol, same here.
yup!
I think "Constructing Architecture; Materials, Processes, Structures" by Andrea Deplazes is one of the best books about detailing and material. It absolutely blew my mind in my bachelor's
all architects should have an awi manual as well, at least in the US.
hey! I go to school in Maine!
Please make a separate video on architectural books for students, discuss the major points to be followed and if you can please provide online Pdf as well

Thx, amazing videos!! Full of valuable data!

Amazing video!!!
I know this video is 5 years old so its unlikely i'm gonna get an answer but im still gonna try!
I don't want to become an architect but i kinda want to learn about floor plans, i want to become a comic artist and obviously for the comic to be consistent i have to design the character's houses and rooms, which having such a plan could help me. Do you have any book recommendations that would almost exclusively consistent of floor plans? That i could use as inspirations! Or any video recommendations on how to make such plans and some basic understandings like where it would be possible to place a window or not?
Here's one for you: ruclips.net/video/YkTfTfhWIAY/видео.html And another: ruclips.net/video/koWty8JIwDI/видео.html (my channel is full of these)
Hi, do you have any book recommendations on building materials (very illustrative as the books you showed in the video) , and also on architectural innovative structures?
Video coming up in two weeks dedicated to materials and I'll include book rec's there...thanks for watching...cheers...
Thanks for the great ideas. What I miss in the list is a book about Frank Lloyd Wright. Every architect or student should know the work of Frank Lloyd Wright.
Thank you from Kuwait ... insightful as always

Hi ! 😁 any book for an architect starting a new job in California ? That comes from Mexico City and know the metric system but needs to change to imperial? Something like neufert? Haha , thanks !
Is there any architecture books you recommend for beginners
Thanks for this! this is beautily well edited.
I have Peter Zumtor Thinking Arquitecture and Francis Ching´s books. I am a 3 year student. What is next for me?
3rd year...it really depends on what you're into...urban planning, landscape, housing, residential, civic, educational, institutional...it's never too early to start learning about the technics + materials side of architecture (check out the comments for my recs there)...explore lots of ideas, read both theoretical texts and study the work of practicing architects in equal measure.
Thanks!!!
What is the name of the project 10:50 ? I really want to see more about it
Thanks in advance
that's: House MJ by Kombinat (in Slovenia)...
thanks you are the best!
+Thomas1808HD cheers my friend
Thank you so much for your video. Which books do you suggest for Architecture Theory?
Really enjoy your videos, I'm really interested in the analysis, processes and critique of architectural design - are there any books you can recommend?
Thanks.... so much help, how do I finance the purchase of many of these now?
that's the trouble, right? I have a book purchasing budget for the business each month...continuing education...
Hi Eric - really enjoy your videos and all the useful advice and information you share! I’m a senior in high school considering majoring in architecture in college - are there any book(s) you could recommend that could help me get a better understanding of and start on architecture? Cheers!
