So many of you have asked me (I lie, no one has... *sob*):
"What codex of stimulus do you leech off from to aid in your fantastical building designs?"
Well my good man, I'm glad you asked. I tend to use a mixture of google images and any relevant books about inspiring buildings. But one fateful day; once again chickening out into talking to the pretty clerk at student services. I wistfully happened upon an architectural design book in the library that - in time - became the best, creativity stimulating book I could ever have been graced with.
I'm sure there are others like it - but for a noob like me who is too proud to rely heavily on architectural books, this was my first introduction to something other than just photos of awesome houses on a playdate with heavy, relevant text.
"1000 Ideas by 100 Architects" is the name and literally is what it says it is... is.
Collating the wisdom from 100 architects, this book displays it all: photos of awesome building designs/landscape designs/designs/designs/etc + some helpful tips and concepts (visualised in said photos) behind what one should consider when designing.
Its not heavy on text and is juxtaposed with pictures and photos galore; sort of like reading perfect architectural porn: you want the pictures and minimal text that's to the point.
So this is my recommendation if building design gets you randy & you're looking for a one off book that solves it all.
