Yes Is More! is a great book about BIG's practice and projects and is done like a comic book. It does a fantastic job of explaining the developmental process for their projects and how they transitioned into the final designs. Granted this is just one firm and not a great overall educator in architecture but i've always loved Bjarkes style and BIG's way of doing / explaining things.
This is one of my favorite books right now. very fun book by one of my favorite firms.
Understanding Architecture: Its Elements, History, and Meaning
A Global History of Architecture
A Visual Dictionary of Architecture
The Death and Life of Great American Cities
Bonus book because I like this firm's concepts:
Yes Is More: An Archicomic on Architectural Evolution - Bjarke Ingels Group
Right on.
From when I used to teach design studio (2nd year) I looked for and tried to teach a few things.
I just picked up (because this book came out AFTER I stopped teaching) Operative Design and Conditional Design. These would have been amazing to expose my students to as not only options for basic architectural moves but also help with EXPLAINING them and why they did them. Instead I had to rely on Yes is More which is fine but I wanted something slightly more rigorous.
Talk to your university's architectural librarian about ordering them if they don't have it. My experience has been very good in asking the librarian to order books. They usually have a budget each cycle and appreciate suggestions.
Good luck!
