Michael Manfredi’s Book List

How to compile a list of meaningful books? Where to start? The following is a very partial list of books that have been formative to me as an architect, designer, and teacher. It’s an eclectic list. These are books that I revisit often and that, in effect, continue to be my valued friends, mentors, provocateurs, and sources of inspiration.

E. H. (Ernst) Gombrich

Given to me as a young adult, this is a book I still return to. Gombrich, one of this century’s great intellectuals, brings history to life in an intelligent and conversational style. It is really a children’s book written for adults.
