Interesting book, text for a class on "Placemaking" for architecture. Great Pictures! The authors write letters to each other about many different great places. It's also, notably, not all on western architecture, there are some awesome eastern places too.
A Book on Architect Fundamentals
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book is great. It looks at the why of design elements. It is easy to read and just about anyone can follow the ideas. If you are interested in looking into the what and why of architecture this is the book for you.

An interesting format for a discussion of design principles with beautiful pen and ink sketches. Imaginary letters written between two architects discussing well known and not so well known buildings that illustrate proportion, paths, angles and why they appeal to our eyes and hearts. Recommended by a designer whose course I took. A very pleasing book.

Easily the best book on architecture, and mere observation, that I have ever read. Great even for those with little or no knowledge of the field.
