书籍可以拉近我们和世界的距离。然而，面对海量的图书，我们应该如何选择，才能更有效地阅读和思考？谷德邀请建筑师和学者分享他们的书单，看看他们在关注什么问题，读了哪些书，或许可以为有同样问题的读者提供一些参考。临近开学，马上将有新的一批建筑学生开始自己的专业学习。本期分享书单来自清华大学建筑学院院长张利（更多关于他：Atelier Teamminus on gooood），他为我们带来了五本建议建筑学新生阅读的书籍，为今后的学习打下更加坚实的基础。
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, Zhang Li (more: Atelier Teamminus on gooood), Dean of the School of Architecture of Tsinghua University, introduces his book list for the new architectural students, helping them to form a solid foundation of this discipline.

城市
City
A Country of Cities: A Manifesto for an Urban America
Chakrabarti, Vishaan.
Metropolis Books. New York. 2013.
当代的城市关注与策略，涵盖密度、可持续性与社会公平等问题。在这本书中，作者认为优秀的城市设计是解决环境衰退、不可持续的能源消耗、经济停滞、公共健康成本增加以及社会机动性下降等美国国家问题的关键手段。未来，如果我们能正确地开发城市，城市将引领国家进入一个繁荣进步的新时代。作者提供了大量有关城市、郊区和远郊的信息，回顾了这些地区在美国五十个州的发展情况，指出了它们在城市繁荣、全球化、可持续以及居民健康等方面的作用。与人们的想象相反，20世纪20年代以来，美国城市的发展速度超过了郊区。如果我们能策略性地在城市成长的过程中增加城市密度，建设交通系统、学校、公园等基础设施来支持，我们将创造更多就业机会，并且真正实现环境的可持续发展。书中，作者以图像数据支撑自己对美国城市的观点，包括儿童超重比例，不断变长的通勤时间，政府比起公共交通更倾向高速补贴，等等。最后，作者留下了一段意味深长的宣言，我们要建造“a Country of Cities”，将高速、独栋住宅和栅栏组成的传统城市转变为充满火车，高层和树的未来城市。
In A Country of Cities, author Vishaan Chakrabarti argues that well-designed cities are the key to solving America’s great national challenges: environmental degradation, unsustainable consumption, economic stagnation, rising public health costs and decreased social mobility. If we develop them wisely in the future, our cities can be the force leading us into a new era of progressive and prosperous stewardship of our nation. In compelling chapters, Chakrabarti brings us a wealth of information about cities, suburbs and exurbs, looking at how they developed across the 50 states and their roles in prosperity and globalization, sustainability and resilience, and heath and joy. Counter to what you might think, American cities today are growing faster than their suburban counterparts for the first time since the 1920s. If we can intelligently increase the density of our cities as they grow and build the transit systems, schools, parks and other infrastructure to support them, Chakrabarti shows us how both job opportunities and an improved, sustainable environment are truly within our means. In this call for an urban America, he illustrates his argument with numerous infographics illustrating provocative statistics on issues as disparate as rising childhood obesity rates, ever-lengthening automobile commutes and government subsidies that favor highways over mass transit. The book closes with an eloquent manifesto that rallies us to build “a Country of Cities,” to turn a country of highways, houses and hedges into a country of trains, towers and trees.

艺术史
Art History
On Beauty/On Ugliness
Eco, Umberto. Eds.
Maclehose Press. Quercus, London. 2010-2011.
这是一对姐妹篇，是一套以索绕艺术哲学的基本问题为线索、以代表作品为节点构建的简明艺术史纲。
《On Beauty》：作者从艺术和审美两方面入手，发掘了从古典到当代人们对没的感受的变化。美包含形式和风格，绘画、雕塑、建筑、电影、摄影、装饰艺术、小说和诗歌均与美有关。本书追随历史上的审美理念，检验了诸多试图定义美的文章，展示了美本身的迷人和兼收并蓄。我们不仅能看到波提切利和米开朗基罗，还能了解古埃及服饰对20世纪60年代时尚的影响，以及古罗马与十八世纪在发型上极为相似。它为我们所熟悉的内容赋予了新的内涵，并且为我们照亮了陌生的领域。
《On Ugliness》：在美以外，作者还探讨了视觉文化和艺术中的丑陋。我们为什么会对阴森可怕的东西产生渴望窥视的冲动？这种对肮脏和羞耻的欲望来自哪里？丑是否也是一种主观感受？作者引经据典，精彩地讲述了关于丑的研究，揭示了日常中我们所反抗的东西，往往是潜意识里的渴望。书中涵盖了各种各样关于丑的话题，从米尔顿的撒旦到歌德的靡菲斯特，从巫术到中世纪的苦行僧，从生育以及内脏裸露的尸体到虚构的怪物和畸形人，从颓废主义的丑陋风景到低俗艺术，乃至对恶习的审美。作者提供了大量绘画和雕塑案例，从古希腊的两耳细颈酒馆到Bosch，Brueghel，Goya等画家，附带不同时代知名作家和哲学家的评语，深入探讨了文学和艺术作品中的恶魔、堕落以及黑暗等概念。
Beauty is neither a history of art, nor a history of aesthetics but Umberto Eco draws on the histories of both these disciplines to define the ideas of beauty that have informed sensibilities from the classical world to modern times. In terms of form and style, Beauty has been conceived for a vast and diversified readership: taking in painting, sculpture, architecture, film, photography, the decorative arts, novels and poems, it offers a rich and intelligent panorama of this huge subject. It traces the philosophy of aesthetics through history and examines some of the many treatises that have sought to define it. Beauty is Umberto Eco at his most captivating and eclectic: we read not only of Botticelli and Michelangelo but of how the fashion of the 1960s owes much to ancient Egyptian dress, and how ancient Roman and eighteenth-century hairstyles have much in common. It makes the familiar new, and sheds a brilliant new light on the unfamiliar. Illustrated in full colour throughout and produced to the highest standards, Beauty is an indispensable book.
In the mold of his acclaimed History of Beauty, renowned cultural critic Umberto Eco’s On Ugliness is an exploration of the monstrous and the repellant in visual culture and the arts. What is the voyeuristic impulse behind our attraction to the gruesome and the horrible? Where does the magnetic appeal of the sordid and the scandalous come from? Is ugliness also in the eye of the beholder? Eco’s encyclopedic knowledge and captivating storytelling skills combine in this ingenious study of the Ugly, revealing that what we often shield ourselves from and shun in everyday life is what we’re most attracted to subliminally. Topics range from Milton’s Satan to v’s Mephistopheles; from witchcraft and medieval torture tactics to martyrs, hermits, and penitents; from lunar births and disemboweled corpses to mythic monsters and sideshow freaks; and from Decadentism and picturesque ugliness to the tacky, kitsch, and camp, and the aesthetics of excess and vice. With abundant examples of painting and sculpture ranging from ancient Greek amphorae to Bosch, Brueghel, and Goya among others, and with quotations from the most celebrated writers and philosophers of each age, this provocative discussion explores in-depth the concepts of evil, depravity, and darkness in art and literature.

技术史
Technology History
Technology in World Civilization: A Thousand-Year History
Arnold, Pacey.
MIT Press. Cambridge (Mass.). 1991.
这是一本一般技术发展及其与文明互动关系的简明史纲。James R. Hansen评价道：“这是一本出色的作品，简明而又专业。其中涉及了大量精妙的历史案例，东方和西方都有，令人信服地阐述了技术的重要性。”
A brilliant book…[Pacey] presents numerous expertly told, but brief, historical examples—many involving non-Western history—that demonstrate the subtlety, richness, and ultimate technological importance of an authentic dialogue.—James R. Hansen, Science Books & Films

建筑史与理论
Architectural History and Theory
