I happened across an old web page of mine, a How-To on set building aimed at beginning theater designers and builders: "Theater Set Questions Answered!". You can check it out HERE on Hub Pages.
I'm starting to read a new (to me) book, Stage Designers in Early Twentieth-Century America, by Christin Essin. More a history and cultural study than a visual essay, it's very interesting so far...
Other intriguing reading and watching lately: comedian Colin Jost's memoir A Very Punchable Face; David Sedaris's memoir Theft by Finding; essays/demonstrations/rants/performance art? YouTube videos by Karolina Z'ebrowska (for a funny version of a film costume design production meeting watch "Boobs"); and the vid essays of Jacob Geller. I particularly recommend (to scenic design fans) "The Intimacy of Everday Objects," "Control, Anatomy, and the Legecy of the Haunted House," and also "Art Theft." But, honestly, they're all great.
If you're missing production meetings, here below is a tiny taste. (Honestly, I've always been a bit shocked by the blunt talk by costume designers... this is actually kinda... mild.)
