Science of the Secondary 16: Book

Science of the Secondary: Book is the 16th edition in Atelier HOKO’s acclaimed research series, offering a quiet yet profound reflection on the nature of reading formats in the digital age. Challenging the overload of features in modern devices, this thoughtful publication focuses on the subtle, often overlooked distinctions between physical books and electronic media. With a minimalist lens, Atelier HOKO explores how we experience books—not through utility, but through sensory nuance, familiarity, and cultural memory. A must-read for designers, thinkers, and anyone curious about the everyday objects that shape our lives.
