Possibly not EXACTLY what you are looking for, but I found the book "An Architectural Approach to Level Design" by Christopher W. Totten a phenomenal lecture since it tells a lot about architectual and spatial principles applicable to level design. Have a look at it! Highly recommended!

I'd advise you the taschen collection. Not so expensive, and they are noon friendly 
at least that's what I started reading
if you want some architectural theory insights I'd suggest autobiographies of famous architect
