- blueridge 3y agoCame here to mention Scruton. Would recommend the documentary mentioned above, plus Scruton's book: The Aesthetics of Architecture. https://www.scruton.org/building-beautiful https://www.scruton.org/building-beautiful I am also obsessed with traditional Japanese architecture. Lots of simple ornament, warm colors and materials, deliberate use of shadows and light. https://eastwindinc.com/ https://eastwindinc.com/ Books: Japanese Homes and their Surroundings Japanese Architecture: An Exploration of Elements & Forms
