3 Extra Sources on Architecture

Within this book shown is the analysis of architecture, it presents architectural drawings and explanations on how certain type of buildings work, it also supports ideas and strategies in over-analyzing ones own design. One section of the book describes space for assimilating, describes light and shade, reflection, texture, mood, layering views; all in relation to geometries.
But overall the plans and sections tend to be the abstractions through which architects primarily design, they are also an importance for analysis.
