The classic book in this area is The Mythical Man Month by Fred Brooks. It was published in 1975, but is just as relevant today as ever.
Another great resource is The Architecture of Open Source Applications series. (Available for free online.) Each chapter has the author(s) of a major open source system go in to detail and history about their design decisions and philosophy. Very good for getting the feel about how maestros think about the large-scale organization of software.
