building construction illustrated is still valid as well.
but a word of caution.
You may not like the way you are being taught, but play their game. It is a game but there is stuff to learn, don't dissmiss it because it's not the same stuff as you want to learn, get stuck in and ace it and THEN look at another path,
don't use "I don't like the way they are doing it" to cover for "I'm not very good at the things we are being asked to do". And just ignoring the tutors way of working and what they are pushing you for will just be antagonistic and you wont learn much.
Remember that the architects' key skill and value add is not in construction detailing, we MUST know about it and you are right that great buildigs must be designed in a way that is intrinsically linked to their construction methods and materials. but it's ALSO really important, especially in your early student days, that you are able to dream big, talk about that dream, explain the vision and get people to buy into it. That's what they are teaching you, don't miss the point.
