So I often feel a bit childish when talking about architecture because I'm not that well-informed on the subject. I thought I might as well do a bit of reading to get more awareness about it, especially with uni fast approaching - I'm leaving in October (!!!).
This book is called '50 Architects You Should Know', and it basically lists a selection of the most famous architects - old and new and with a wide range of styles - with a large photo of their most famous work and some information about their style and biography.
I liked it because it had a range of different culturally influenced styles, so it seemed to have quite a broad range to look at.
Also, I felt better about my architectural knowledge when I found architects I already knew of, like Gaudi. I've actually been to Barcelona and seen the Sagrada Familia a couple of times, and it doesn't get any less beautiful. If you get the chance you should definitely go - also worth seeing is the Park Guell, its really colourful and portrays the nature that Gaudi was inspired by.
