An image of the cover of the book "Notes on the Synthesis of Form"

A very deep, theoretical book on the design process, and on matching a solution to a problem. This one isn’t for the faint of heart. It attempts to distill the design process to math, almost.

I got a little lost towards the end, but I love a deep dissection of a process like this, so it was fun.
