Below is a list of Architectural Guidebooks that might interest students who are out and about in Europe. In some ways they are like your typical Architectural Guidebook in that they have entries for built works, listing the address, access, directions and a brief description along with a photo or two.
However, these Guidebooks differ from the typical Architectural Guidebook in that instead of focusing on a particular geographic area such as Paris or France, they focus on a particular designer such as le Corbusier or Nouvel. We have Guidebooks on many designers, but have limited this list to designers who have considerable work in Europe.
They are listed in alphabetical order by the designer's last name.
