Architecture Reference Sources

This reference guide is a selective list of what I consider to be the standard, historically important and most helpful architecture reference sources, organized by the broad topics below. It is by no means comprehensive. Unless otherwise noted, all titles in this guide are located in the Environmental Design Library, 210 Wurster Hall, University of California, Berkeley. Additional related and new materials can be found by checking in the library catalogs and California Digital Library catalogs available from the UCB Library website.

For additional assistance, consult the Environmental Design Library reference staff, 210 Wurster Hall.
