Book is a bridge to the world. How could we choose from mountains of books to read and think more efficiently? gooood invited architects and specialists to share their reading list. What issues are they focusing on and what books did they choose? It might be a guideline for people who have the same question. As the new school year is coming, a group of new architectural students are going to start their professional studies. In this article, Li Zhenyu, dean of CAUP, Tongji University (More: Tongji University on gooood), introduces his book list for the new architectural students, helping them to form a solid foundation of this discipline.

《城市意象》
The Image of the City
作者：凯文·林奇 | Author: Kevin Lynch
The MIT Press; Illustrated

“有助于建筑、规划、风景园林学生理解空间的认知。”

一座城市，无论景象多么普通都可以带来欢乐。从《城市意象》这本书中我们发现——城市如同建筑，是一种空间的结构，只是尺度更巨大，需要用更长的时间过程去感知。城市设计可以说是一种时间的艺术，然而它与别的时间艺术，比如已掌握的音乐规律完全不同。很显然，不同的条件下，对于不同的人群，城市设计的规律有可能被倒置、打断、甚至是彻底废弃。

What does the city’s form actually mean to the people who live there? What can the city planner do to make the city’s image more vivid and memorable to the city dweller? To answer these questions, Mr. Lynch, supported by studies of Los Angeles, Boston, and Jersey City, formulates a new criterion―imageability―and shows its potential value as a guide for the building and rebuilding of cities. The wide scope of this study leads to an original and vital method for the evaluation of city form. The architect, the planner, and certainly the city dweller will all want to read this book.

The Language of Architecture: 26 Principles Every Architect Should Know

Rockport Publishers

“建筑形式语言的26个例子，很适合新生阅读。”

《建筑的语言》的作者安德里亚·西米奇、瓦尔·沃克认为建筑的功能之复杂、信息之丰富足以媲美任何语言系统，它既能有无限诗意，也能平淡无奇，能怒吼也能柔声低语，能针砭讽刺也能含情脉脉。参照英文字母表的个数，本书26章的每个章节都阐述一个建筑设计的原则。这些章节按照8个部分来组织，涉及设计过程的基本元素、建筑项目构成的本体、建筑沟通的工具，以及建造的通常模式。本书是所有建筑爱好者的视觉宝库，以历史上众多知名的建筑作品展示了古往今来建筑环境设计中的基本信条。作者从实践者和教育者的角度，文图并茂，精妙地诠释了建筑的精髓。《建筑的语言》是建筑设计基础的权威参考。

In order to master the foundation of architecture, you must first master the basic building blocks of its language; the definitions, function, and usage. The Language of Architecture provides students and professional architects with the basic elements of architectural design, divided into twenty-six easy-to-comprehend chapters. This visual reference includes an introduction to architecture design, historical view of the elements, as well as an overview of how these elements can and have been used across multiple design disciplines. Whether you’re new to the field or have been an architect for years, you’ll want to flip through the pages of this book and use it as your go-to reference for inspiration and ideas. This comprehensive learning tool is the one book you’ll want as a staple in your library.

《建筑实验室：Archi-Union和Fab-Union的建筑作品集》
Collaborative Laboratory: Works of Archi-Union and Fab-Union
作者：袁烽| Author: Philip F. Yuan
Oscar Riera Ojeda Publishers, 2019

“这是袁烽老师和他的团队10年来数字建造的作品集，有助于年轻人远眺未来。”

创盟国际Archi-Union Architects（点击这里了解更多）由袁烽博士于2003年在上海创立。 Archi-Union以结合全球建筑趋势和传统建造方法而闻名，他们创造了“数字建构”（Digital Tectonics）一词，用以描述他们的低技术（low-tech）数字建造方法，借助参数化设计来驱动建筑构造和建筑生态学的融合——本质上是将数字技术与工艺结合在一起。

Founded in 2003 by Dr. Philip F. Yuan, Archi-Union Architects is a Shanghai-based architectural design firm. Archi-Union is known for combining global trends in architecture and the local traditional approach. They have coined the term ‘Digital Tectonics’ to describe their low-tech digital fabrication method which merges the concepts of tectonic construction and ecology that are catalyzed through a parametric design process, in essence combining digital technology and craftsmanship.
