Yo recomiendaría Pedro Páramo de Juan Rulfo
Enrique! Que buena recomendación, te ganaste el sorteo del libro, felicidades! Escribeme a mi instagram @letsshowitbetter un mensaje para coordinar la entrega del libro. Saludos!
@@ShowItBetter increíble, ya te escribo, muchas gracias
I love the book review videos they are always great source of inspiration for my next reads, and I'd love to have the Arch Competition book in my library!
Always love a good list of books I need to add to my library, thanks!
Thanks for creating such quality videos, am always thrilled to c your videos, not only ur content but also the quality, data collection, graphics, lightings and ur efforts etc.
U r actually showing it better. Thanks a lot. My favourite is "The secret".
Thank you for these recomendations, I'm in my first year of architecture so this is definitely helpful!
Awesome list! thankyou for the recommendations!
Awesome idea with making categories of books. I tend to gather a lot of different PDF's of these books but never actually know how and when to use them! PS. This Arch Competiotion book looks interesting!
Thanks Roberto! Having different categories is key!
Thank you for sharing your book collection. I already have a couple of these and I am looking forward to acquiring more.
The monographs are my go to for inspiration.
I have the same idea as you
Always lots of good recommendations, love your channel❤️
Nice review of some books which are very interesting. Im finishing my master year and this will clear my ideas of how I want to work with it. Thanks a lot for your videos.
Always so inspirational, thank you!
I really need this book because im looking forward to apply for a competition this summer, great video and topic
Great tips! I am will follow!
Gracias Arq Steven, por las recomendaciones. Son un gran punto de inspiración!
Thanks for sharing! I'll definitely be looking some of these when my budget allows. I have been eyeing that Architecture Competitions Yearbook, only if money grew on trees i would have annually started collecting such.
Thank you so much for the recommendation!!
"eyes of the skin" just changed my way to understand architecture. I also recommend any monograph about Barragán, his work it´s living poetry
Good to see Eric @30x40 design workshop getting a mention. Big fan of his channel as well. A good series of books on detailing are the 'Detail in Contemporary' Timber / Concrete / Residential / Glass Architecture by Virginia McLeod. Also in the series Landscape, Kitchen and Bathroom design. Various buildings are highlighted including plans, details and large scale details of different elements / features in that building.
Awesome as always 👏💙
Awesome Video men!
Excellent video. Appreciate it.
Thank you for the video!
5th year architecture student here at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo! Great recommendations and love the video !
Awesome info- thanks. There is always space for one more book on the bookshelf
Great video!
I was pleasantly surprised by some of the non-architecture related books...really helpful!
thanks for this resource
Excelent video !
Great video 👌👌, good luck❤️
Cool nice video, can you do a series of recommend books video. Beginner collection in detail, then new coming Modern architect, then classic read all should knows.
Such an amazing video, i love it
Thanks Niok!
During crit sessions in the previous semester a professor of mine pulled a monolog to show us some projects. That made it one of the best critics I ever had!
Omw to the bookstore!😍
Right?!
Definitely must have books.
I have a couple and I plan on getting more
yes! thanks!
I really enjoyed this!
Thanks!
So many books, soo less time!! Great video and titles!!
Fantastic list of books! When I was a student, I felt like I lacked structural knowledge when designing all these concept buildings and renders. Student projects looked pretty but I was always more attracted to details so I would recommend "Structures: Or why things don't fall down" by J. E. Gordon. This book is more structural engineering (without any complicated maths/physics) and uses nature to explain/breakdown why structures can carry such loads and not buckle. The author is witty and I got a good chuckle a few times!
The german magazine "Details" and the many monographs out there are really what interest and inspire me to design!
I’m about to graduate this May with a bachelor’s in architecture and your videos have been a great tool for me in these past few years! I bought some of the books you recommended in your last video and I’ve enjoyed them a lot. I’m excited to check out some of the books you recommended this time around! P.S. I love Gabriel Garcia!
Besides, which book will you recommend to me after reading the ones you bought?
This video shows very clearly the attitude an architect should have towards his area. The books one reads and pays attention to are the source of one's inspiration. They build the architecture as an artist and find expression in his or her present and future projects.
completely agree Ivanina!
The Waves by Virginia Woolf. Is just a lovely, very intimate and continuous conversation with each character along their life. I personally love how you get to know their most profound thoughts, you get to understand the diversity of life.
I went to the exhibition "paysage français", really a fantastic moment!
I'm an architecture major and my favorite book is "Invisible Cities" by Italo Calvino. It is not a book that directly originates from our career field but one that helps connect abstract concepts to a visual structure similar to a city, and it also highlights original and sometimes whimsical forms of urban landscape. Although the book only deals with fictional cities (hence "invisible") but because of that, it jumps out of the realistic confines of an existing urban space and really provides profound insights to topics related to architecture and urban planning. For example last semester while I was doing my bachelor design with the topic of cemeteries, I re-read the parts concerning "the city of the dead" and it really got me far with my project. Other than that the novel also explores the relationship between city and memories, desires, cultures, languages etc. In this aspect, the unreal cities described in the book are rather thought experiments because notions of some of the cities are sometimes to perfect to be real. This book is neither a dry, theoretical book of philosophy, nor is it a heavy read; you'll be sure to finish the book if you have a week-off. However I recommend that people pause from time to time and mull over the cities in the previous chapter, and let them provides some insights of how you view cities in association with your own life experience.
the book was published in 1972?
@@archthiel exactly and originally in Italian
I find that books oriented more toward graphic design to be useful, as someone interested in visualization and representation. I recently came across Grid Systems in Graphic Design, which has been helpful in helping me create my portfolio. And also Log, is a great magazine series that focuses on theory and pedagogy.
Noteworthy! Thanks.
I am currently in the 5. semester of architecture (bachler) and I dont really have books about architecture... I think I am missing out on a lot of important informations and thinking/designing ways so I will definetly buy some books in the near future😌 thanks for your recomendations!☺️👌🏻
09:38 and 09:57 Pure Architectural Gold!
I would recommend sci-fi books. My favourite is the classics - Dune series. It gives a whole new experience to the reader. Also, the Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin, not directly connected to architecture, but worth reading to get a new perspective. Ubik - by Philip K. Dick - absolutely amazing and astonishing book, which in my opinion was the first inspiration for the movie Inception.
I often go according to publishers and generally I end up mostly with 3 types - monographs with text and details, books with details on a certain topic and books discussing certain societal or historical events.
Thanks.
I wantttt the book💖 hope I could get it😍
Haven’t read too many architecture books yet. But, the Ching books have saved my butt many times in school haha.
Just keep up the good work
thanks Parth!
Gotta love books
Waiting for more Videos
I wish more architecture books would utilize registrations or markers to distinguish viewpoints of the additional pictures. It would be nice to have a more spacial understanding if there was an aerial and then the subsequent photographs could line up to a demarcation and viewpoint. Similar to how we make markers for where section cuts are made or where details are being showcased.
Great vid! One of my favorites would be Formgiving ! #ACYcompetition
It’s a good book! Thanks!
Amazing list!
But can I have a short insight about "Eyes of the Skin" of Juhani Pallasmaa? Some say it's a fantastic book that allows us to deep dive into our everyday senses to comprehend space, consciousness, and people. It's been on my reading list for a long time because I can't afford the book for now as a student. Hahaha as well as the ACY competition book. It looks entrancing!
My favorite book is 104 things I learned in architecture school :)
Peter Zumthor / Details . Amazing book to learn about architecture elements and the way to make it real. Hope to win the ACY book as well ahaha.
haha good luck!
Thank you for sharing your book collection. Any chance to share the link about your book "Le Corbusier".
The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho
Por si no lo concoes, revisa los planos de detalle del arquitecto español Alberto Campo Baeza: tienen una enorme definición constructiva.

Creo que voy a tener que hacer un presupuesto para comprarme todos esos libros hahaha
I hope it will be released in Vietnam soon
