While this is a good list, there are some I don’t agree with, and also other very essential books missing. There seem to be too many ‘thinking’ books on this list. What about mandatory knowledge of human interaction with objects?
Here are a couple that in my opinions should have been on this list:
The Measure of Man and Woman: Human Factors In Design
How could there NOT be a Henry Dreyfuss book on the list?
Industrial Design: Materials and Manufacturing Guide
You better know your manufacturing processes
