Wabi-Sabi: Fler tankar

I picked this up expecting a dense academic tome, but it reads more like a conversation with a thoughtful friend, and that philosophical framing of imperfection stays with you long after you put it down. The way it draws a line between aesthetics and everyday restraint is what really stuck with me.

The second half, where Koren digs into restraint and imperfection as lived concepts rather than abstract ideals, hit me harder than the first book. It's a slim volume but dense enough that I kept pausing to reread passages.

The way Koren ties philosophical inquiry into architecture here is really thought-provoking, especially his take on restraint as a design principle. It’s a slim read but every page feels dense with meaning, and I found myself rereading whole sections.
