Hello,
I am a game designer, and I would like to ask about good Architecture books to learn the basics of desing.
I am looking for basic theory and concepts, like the elements to design the interior of a building with specific function.
Also I am interested in the history and philosophy of ancient architecture. I found this book: A Global History of Architecture. they say it is global and I really need a book featuring many civilizations and cultures, don't know if this book is the one or if there any others like it/better.
Also understanding how to analyze buildings will be very helpful.
Thank you :)

It's been said a hours and times over. For basic design, Ching is the man
Thanks a lot :)
Arcane,
The first architectural book I ever got was Building Construction Illustrated(Ch'ing). I found it to be a more practical approach to architecture and design. Hope it helps.
