As I was discussing these similarities with a close friend, an architect for the past 30 years, I realized that there was a lot in common between the architecture design process and work done by User Experience/Interface (UI) designers. Further conversations with leading professionals in both industries gave me some interesting takeaways to help other UI designers take their work to the next level of excellence.

Venustatis (Beauty) - It should delight people and raise their spirits.
