A Bridge of Ideas
You've curated two books that, while both under the 'Architecture' umbrella, reveal a profound, hidden connection in your approach to design. Both 'Super Normal' and 'Design Thinking' champion a philosophy of fundamental observation and iterative refinement – 'Super Normal' through the quiet power of the ordinary and 'Design Thinking' through a systematic process of understanding user needs and prototyping. This pairing suggests you're exploring not just how things look, but deeply how they function and meet essential human requirements, bridging aesthetic principles with functional problem-solving.
