Well, I'll talk about a book that had a significant impact on me. It's called "Computational Design and Digital Fabrication" by Achim Menges, published in 2000. The book explores the intersection of digital application techniques and computational design, which essentially means using algorithms, coding, and 3D modeling to create designs inspired by natural forms like coral and leaves. It's about finding a logical order within the natural world. I discovered this book online, and it had a profound impact on me. It inspired me to pursue a Master's degree in Germany, specifically in the field of Integrated Computational Design (ICD). The book's arguments resonated with me, and I believe it changed my life. It broadened my perspective, helped me develop new skills, and gave me a new way of looking at the world. It's a book I highly recommend to anyone interested in design and technology.
