RECOMMENDED BOOKS

There are too many books in architecture, yet too little that one can afford...

So most books become reference books, usually adorning the library shelves. Yet, I believe one should buy one book a month at least for the personal collection...

Selection of what to read or refer is a tall order, a heavy proposition...

Here is a list, recommended yearwise, for both students and teachers...

though not to be followed strictly...
