There are plenty, but the most notable one is A Perfect Mess, by Freedman and Abrahamson. The idea was quite good - mess is chaos, but chaos was not always bad. If you have a pile of stuff on the floor, it's efficient to take stuff from the pile and put it back in. Organizing is sort of like overarchitecture. They used the book as proof of concept. The book was unplanned, there was probably no editing. It was just a dump of ideas and not organized in a coherent fashion. So in a sense, it disproved the thesis that mess is a better state. It's a good book, but just really hard to read.
