Architecture first year advice!!

Hello, I'm starting year one Architecture in a few weeks. What books would you strongly advise I read before starting the course??
Also if anyone has any advice on how I can effectively prepare that would be great :smile:
which university are you going to?

Haven't they sent you any pre-reading or reading list information?

It should be on blackboard in the course handbook https://www.westminster.ac.uk/current-students/studies/your-student-journey/welcome-to-westminster/undergraduate-course-inductions/architecture-ba-course-induction

The course handbook isn't available yet and the modules are locked until the 25th

You could pick a couple of books from Cambridge's recommended list for its architecture applicants:

In that case I wouldn’t worry. They likely don’t expect you to buy/read books in advance.

If you have some free time then visiting the library and looking at the subject section/speaking to the subject librarian might be worthwhile.
