📚 I’ve committed to reading more books for 2026.
Excited to dive into The Labor of Architecture by C.G. Beck—a fascinating exploration of creativity, design, and the building of a new conscious class.
Special thanks to my friend, colleague, and fellow for recommending this gem! Adding it to the resources for my Professional Practice class.
