I was wondering if you could recommend some interesting readings that discuss typology from a theoretical point of view. I am looking ideally for an anthology of selected texts that I could go through in my own time. I have identified some (e.g. Moneo, Caniggia, Pevsner) via online search, but I am curious as to any recommendations you may have.
Readings on Typology

Disclaimer: This is not a homework enquiry.
Vidler has an essay in The Oppositions reader on typologies which might be interesting...
Urban Housing Handbook is great for visual and analytical reference if you're interested in housing across different cultures.
There's also a chapter on 'Type' in 'Urban Design Thinking' by Kim Dovey.
