Essential Architecture Book list

My architecture library is one of my prized possessions. It’s a deep well of ideas and inspiration that I keep within arm’s reach of my drafting table. I’ve distilled my collection into a downloadable PDF (free) and included links to the essential books I can’t live without. I’ve curated the collection into five basic categories, they are: Fundamentals, Drawing + Graphics, Inspiration, Technical, + Business. Within each I’ve highlighted the one text I consider to be essential, so if you’re on a limited budget you can get started with a minimal investment.
