The Making of Design Principles

I've always been attracted to the images on this book. It describes conceptualization and abstraction as two different design approaches.

It also shows how ideas and thoughts are expressed through actual production, not only discursively.

I will be reading this book on my 18-hour flight to Japan in October !
