What four books have most influenced how you see the built environment? Here are mine:
@mnolangray Just dug up some childhood books to give to my son and this one is definitely up there
@mnolangray My grad-school list. My mini-me list was different.
@mnolangray Tough and I have two of the same on my list, but I’ll add two of mg favorites for giving insight into the motivations and goals of those building and banning building
@mnolangray 4 books that most influenced how I see the built environment with @modacitylife as a honorable mention for the #DutchBlueprint since the U.S. doesn't live up to the vision of @BicycleDutch
@mnolangray Ask tomorrow (or ten years ago) and the list would be a little different, but close enough!
@mnolangray Zoning rules is a great urban planning book.
@mnolangray Strong towns was a big one for me.
@mnolangray International Building Code, Nfpa 13, International Mechanical Code and NFPA 101
@mnolangray Crabgrass Frontier The Power Broker Color of Law Land Use caselaw textbook
@mnolangray "How Buildings Learn" was my gateway read.
@mnolangray In order from childhood to now…
@mnolangray I've been reading Order without Design after reading your book! Thank you for a great book and all the recommendations!
@mnolangray @DanielleFong "Interesting choices! 📚"
@mnolangray Everyone needs to read this book: A House Needs to Breathe...Or Does It?: An Introduction to Building Science a.co/d/0ZvI9Zf
@mnolangray The Design of Cities by Edmund Bacon and How Cities Work by Alex Marshall. How Cities Work is so important and so fundamental to understanding urban development that clearly explains the fundamentals that planners today are often oblivious of.
@mnolangray I just cited Donald Shoup in an essay about proposals to fix the housing crisis!
@mnolangray I loved Brand’s and Jacobs’ books. They made a huge impression on me.
@mnolangray Are there any books about city planning design and building in imperial China
