Constraints

Transferable Principles

• MUST identify the underlying principle, not the surface aesthetic
• MUST translate observations into screen-applicable language
• "The museum uses a single material palette with one contrast accent" becomes "restrained palette with one accent color"
• "The restaurant spaces tables far apart" becomes "generous whitespace signals premium positioning"
• NEVER copy an aesthetic literally. Extract the principle and reapply it.
