Architecture Books and Online Book Publishing
If you are resourceful, you’ll find tons of pirated architecture books online in pdf format. From Neufert to the Metric Handbook, from AutoCAD Architecture 2008 Book to 3Dmax 2009 Tutorial.
According to a research, university students are increasingly downloading illegal copies of textbooks online, using the same P2P file sharing technologies that cripples the music and movie industry.
Feeling threatened, book publishers are stepping up efforts to stop the online piracy by hiring an outside law firm, and legal notices are mailed to web sites hosting the files demanding that the pdf books be removed. The good new is, no action against students will be taken.
If you can’t beat them, join them. Perhaps it is time these book publishers embrace online book publishing. Sustainable architecture and environmentally conscious design techniques in the field of architecture should be more than just buildings; then again, the whole concept of e-paper working drawing submission to the authorities is impossible for a simple reason – architect’s signature.

Singapore’s Architect 20 Under 45 Serviced Oriented Architecture Book
I highly recommend this book, its a must buy on everybody’s list. It shows 20 different works by 20 different architects in Singapore. Singapore is a relatively new country considering they gain their independance from Malaya ( now known as Malaysia ) 40 years ago. An island ruled by the British, made up mostly of the southern chinese and surrounded by Islamic countries, the architects there are trying hard to fing the right formula in blending the tropical and modern architecture style.
This attractively set-out and handy volume presents the work of the 20 architects aged under 45 who have in 2004 been selected for excellence by the URA and professional organizations. Four introductory essays overview the architectural scene in Singapore and internationally. Each architect then sets out his professional arms and presents a selection of his buildings with explanatory notes, colour photographs and line drawings.
The best part of the book is the price tag, at US$14.50 it is very reasonable. I’ve bought the book one year ago and simply love it.
