Any suggestions for a good book on Architecture?
Scoping around for an architecture book as a birthday present.
Some parameters within which my search criteria ranges:
*I'm from South Africa, so if the book is available locally, it makes things a lot easier. But not a prerequisite. I know of a bookshop that can order me anything.
* Not too expensive, although I am aware of the cost of the average design-related book
* Useful for students and 'beyond' (for the lack of a better word)
* A book covering unconventional or avant garde subject matter would be interesting.
* Not looking for a book with only pretty pictures. Some wholesome theoretical content given precedence
* To give you some idea of architects' work I enjoy: Peter Zumthor, Peter Rich, Rem Koolhaas (OMA), Bjarke Ingels (BIG), Olson Kundig Architects, R&Sie, Herzog & de Meuron, Bernard Tschumi, etc.
Otherwise, just list some books that you own/would like to own that you find interesting.
Thanks!
Uhm, Fanny Coulter, why would I need a book about hummingbirds? Troll.
