Reddit reviews Architecture: Form, Space, & Order

Francis D. K. Ching books would be a place to start.

D.K. Ching Books

I would suggest: Building Construction Illustrated and Architecture: Form, Space, and Order

Then maybe some more of his books as you are interested.

There is also a series of HomeDepot books: Plumbing 1-2-3 Wiring 1-2-3 etc that have lots of basic info: 1-2-3 Series

Feel free to ask if you are looking for anything more specific.

Let me know if you are looking for anything more specific!

I'm already 13 years in AAA games industry. I went through the answers and I agree that Level Design books are not really great if you want to create something more than a tiny indie game. If you want to learn from the "sources", I highly recommend you:

- Environmental Psychology - You can skip parts about noise but perception and decision making in space is a crucial knowledge in Level Design.

- Architecture: Form, Space and Order - This book tells you all about how space is made and how it affects people.

This is a great start. When you'll be done with these books, come back for more ;)

Do you know if he'll actually be drafting by hand? A lot of schools are all digital now.

As an alternative, here's a set of items I would have loved to receive as a freshman in architecture school:

and a nice sketchbook. I'm a fan of the dot grid ones. The Frank Ching books are invaluable. I wish I still had my entire collection.
