Readinglist

I've got to head out, so last post in this initial deluge will be a list of the decent books I've come across so far. Incidentally, if you're looking to buy these, check out abebooks.com before Amazon. I love Amazon, but you can save some serious money at abebooks if they have what you're looking for.

Of Special Note (If you can only read two from the list, read these):
  • A Pattern Language - Christopher Alexander
  • The Not So Big House - Sarah Susanka


Not So Big House
  • The Not So Big House - Sarah Susanka
  • Creating the Not So Big House - Sarah Susanka
  • Not So Big Solutions - Sarah Susanka

Frank Lloyd Wright
  • Frank Lloyd Wright; The Houses - Hess and Weintraub
  • The Natural House - Frank Lloyd Wright

Construction
  • A Pattern Language - Christopher Alexander
  • Prefabulous - Koones
  • The Passive Solar House - Kachadorian

There are a lot of more technical books out there, especially about PS design, but the ones listed above are a good general start for some of the ideas I'm interested in.
