MIT Campus Planning 1960 - 2000 An Annotated Chronology Robert Simah, O
This is the story of forty years of MIT campus planning, told by the man who served as chief planning officer during that time. The goal of Robert Simha and his colleagues in the MIT Planning Office was to preserve the qualities that defined MIT while managing resources for the future. Simha chronicles the work of the Planning Office in a series of short essays describing individual projects and overall campus development, including an account of the central role played by the Planning Office in the defeat of a proposed eight-lane, double-decked interstate highway that would have passed through the campus. The Planning Office oversaw the growth of the campus from four million to nine million square feet; because of its thoughtful planning, the MIT community today enjoys green spaces and buildings of architectural distinction where there were once parking lots and factories.

Not only that, it also tells us how they were built and who designed them if we have the slightest bit of architectural interest in where we choose to stay.

Projects for Prada Part 1 OMA/AMO Rem Koolhaas
This book documents the work undertaken by OMA/AMO on the LA, San Francisco and New York stores for Prada. The projects relate to Koolhaas' ideas on shopping (see below) and the critique lies in developing strategies to cope with Prada's global expansion, and the inevitable problems in maintaining and advancing its corporate image. This book is thus a reference on architectural design for fashion and shopping, as well as a strategy on how architecture can influence and develop new ways of controlling global consumerism. A great book with plenty of research, but also great models, materials, concepts, tests, and plenty of other supporting info. Prada/OMA/AMO, Italy, 2001. PB approx 700pp $A p.o.a

Has all of the usual complexities and exhaustive research typified by Koolhaas publications - this is the book to own for designers interested in all aspects of architecture and urban planning research and speculation.
