Features: As is well known, architecture is a discipline with distinctive characteristics. It is not only a technical field but also involves culture, art, society, history, and many other aspects of the humanities. Even within the technical domain, it intersects with numerous related disciplines, which requires architecture students to have a very broad knowledge base. Reading widely to enhance personal cultivation is a necessary condition for becoming an outstanding architect. However, many architecture students do not know which books or materials to read outside of class. Many architecture teachers also deeply feel the scarcity of teaching reference materials. Therefore, in addition to classroom textbooks, extracurricular teaching reference books are particularly important.
