In Praise of Shadows by Charles Moore, Jun'ichirō Tanizaki
3.0

Recommended by several people. It was useful to understand the the traditional Japanese aesthetic which is minimalistic and subtle and see how the lack of bright lighting dramatically impacts design and perception. I suppose it stretched me to see while some people love the shadows in Japanese architecture, but it did not produce the same appreciate in me.
