Constructing Architecture: Materials, Processes, Structures: a Handbook by Andrea Deplazes
I am also currently reading this weighty tome: Constructing Architecture: Materials, Processes, Structures: a Handbook by Andrea Deplazes.

The book gives a detailed look at the basics of architecture from the POV of construction itself. If you want to know the intricate details and history of bricklaying or mixing concrete, or slab tectonics or roofing materials technology, then this is the weighty tome for you. It's a very practical book with numerous clear figures/diagrams, and may well conjure forth an irresistable urge to pop down to your local builders merchants for timber, cement and breeze blocks.
