design

Planning is for the world's great cities, for Paris, London, and Rome, for cities dedicated, at some level, to culture. Detroit, on the other hand, was an American city and therefore dedicated to money, and so design had given way to expediency.

Work was intended not to give a man a reason to live, but rather to give him a means to live.

Nature's design is fully economical. Human design follows this model when it minimizes information and maximizes understanding.

Principles that drive equilibrium in nature's design also power human design.

Design that mimics the sensual continuity of nature's subtle connections of color, light and texture invite the viewer's receptivity.

We therefore find that the triangles and rectangles herein described, enclose a large majority of the temples and cathedrals of the Greek and Gothic masters, for we have seen that the rectangle of the Egyptian triangle is a perfect generative medium, its ratio of five in width to eight in length 'encouraging impressions of contrast between horizontal and vertical lines' or spaces; and the same practically may be said of the Pythagorean triangle

Think of the billions of trillions of snowflakes, and the billions of trillions of hydrogen and oxygen molecules in every single one of them. It makes you wonder, doesn__ it, who wrote the laws for the wind and the rain, the snow and the dew? I__e tried to work it out, but it makes my head spin.

The Fibonacci Sequence turns out to be the key to understanding how nature designs... and is... a part of the same ubiquitous music of the spheres that builds harmony into atoms, molecules, crystals, shells, suns and galaxies and makes the Universe sing.

It must be remembered that the forty hour work week until age sixty five was designed by governments and corporations and not the medical profession.

I like to reinvent myself _ it__ part of my job.

Our Master puts the desire to procreate in us to be sure that we are fruitful and multiply. He knows how important animals are to the planet because most animals He allows to reproduce in great number. He put every one of us on the ark for a reason. Do you think it__ a mistake that dogs and cats have litters of 8, 9, 10 or more and people typically only have one or maybe two? It__ no mistake. It__ because God intends that there is more than enough four-legged love to go around.

There's a fine line between minimalism and not trying very hard.

An artist is a man who digests his own subjective impressions and knows how to find a general objective meaning in them, and how to express them in a convincing form.

When Design become Useless it becomes Art. Yesterday's Artisans are today's Artists.

Design is a fundamental human activity, relevant and useful to everyone. Anything humans create__e it product, communication or system__s a result of the process of making inspiration real. I believe in doing what works as circumstances change: quirky or unusual solutions are often good ones. Nature bends and so should we as appropriate. Nature is always right outside our door as a reference and touch point. We should use it far more than we do.

Design is not really a way for me to express myself. Design is a product that we produce for a client.

Art is solving problems that cannot be formulated before they have been solved. The shaping of the question is part of the answer.

You must forget all your theories, all your ideas before the subject. What part of these is really your own will be expressed in your expression of the emotion awakened in you by the subject.
