The Architect's Pocket Book
Charlotte Baden-Powell
2003 paperback
This is the second edition of this best-selling book which has been completely revised and updated. There is no similar book currently available.
It is a must for any architect who is sat at the drawing board, at the computer or on site. It covers every aspect of planning, structures, services, building elements and materials, plus other useful general information that you would find useful. The author, who was trained at the Architectural Association in London, felt that during her 40 years of practising architecture this book was vitally needed.

In Search of Natural Architecture
David Pearson
h/b

If you want to buy a book to give you an insight on how buildings can look, then this is the one.

David Pearson is an architect whose background is in houses with environmental and holistic designs. The wonderful photographs illustrate the connections between buildings, landscapes and our lives. It takes you well away from the domination of corporate architecture. Just a little rediscovery of ancient wisdom can make all the difference to a building.
Pearson through words and photographs takes you from traditional dwellings, which have been used for thousands of years, to modern natural architecture that can make you live in harmony within buildings plus the surrounding land. As mentioned previously, wonderful photographs but it also has the added bonus of great accompanying text.

Oxford Dictionary of Architecture and Landscape Architecture
James Stevens Curl

Contains over 6,000 entries, and over 250 illustrations. This fascinating dictionary covers every period of Western architectural history. A wide range of entries, from biographies of architects and others who have made contributions to architecture, architectural terms, architectural styles through to certain regional and national movements.
This book is definitely not just for students and professionals, but for anyone who has an interest in buildings in any shape or form. Dictionaries are not usually known for anything more than being dull reference books, but this certainly isn't, it is a wonderful comprehensive and interesting read.

Green Architecture
James Vines
2000
A world look at green architecture.
The author asks, what makes a "green" house. Are ecological materials, solar panels and wind power the only signs of environmental architecture? Or were the designs of Gaudi and Frank Lloyd Wright even 'greener' than the buildings of some of the contemporary architects.
In this book James Vines discusses the various concepts of ecological architecture and explains that designs should not only call for technological solutions but also to reconcile man and nature by aesthetic means.
This book features many buildings, both large and small, covering a wide range of environmental architecture in rural and urban situations.
Full of interesting text and photographs - and yes - all for only £10!
