Eccentric Spaces, not sure about this book yet but it is about how the human imagination has inhabited the spaces it has built for itself over the course of human history.
And another book called the Conscience of the Eye by Richard Sennett. Its about how the human subconscious has reacted to and built and designed the world around us. The book is mostly negative about how our architecture works and usually begins it's chapters with a polemical assertion, that modern cities are bland and monotonous. Its a pretty mind ****ing book.
