What Hacker News says
- If nobody's brought it up, "Castle" by David Macaulay:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_(book)
(also made into a PBS program in the '80s)
Very nice book; also he has ones about building Cathedrals, Pyramids, Roman cities and New England water-mills.
- The author David Macaulay taught illustration at my college. His original series started with buildings like “Castle”. The way things work was a breakout hit.
