Books - a basic reading list | ||
|
There are few books specifically on a Christian approach to
architecture, but the following, some now quite old, are recommended as basic
background reading. Other books can of course be found in the Annotated Bibliography, still available in its 1987 edition and currently being updated, and in the Community Development section. New books are reviewed as they are published, but this does still leave a gap between 1987 and 1999 - please send in reviews of your recommended books from this period.
