Eventually everything connects - people, ideas, objects. The quality of the connections is the key to quality per se. | Design | 101Choose your corner, pick away at it carefully, intensely and to the best of your ability and that way you might change the world. | Best, Change | 102Design is a plan for arranging elements in such a way as best to accomplish a particular purpose. | Best, Design | 103The details are not the details. They make the design. | Design | 104Recognizing the need is the primary condition for design. | Design | 105The details are details. They make the product. The connections, the connections, the connections. It will in the end be these details that give the product its life. | | 106Who ever said that pleasure wasn't functional? | | 107Art resides in the quality of doing, process is not magic. | Art | 108The real questions are: Does it solve a problem? Is it serviceable? How is it going to look in ten years? | | 109It makes me feel guilty that anybody should have such a good time doing what they are supposed to do. | | 110To whom does design address itself: to the greatest number, to the specialist of an enlightened matter, to a privileged social class? Design addresses itself to the need. | Design | 111It is almost impossible to reconcile self expression with the creative act. | | 112It is not easy to do something good, but it is extremely difficult to do something bad. | | 113Ideas are cheap. Always be passionate about ideas and communicating those ideas and discoveries to others in the things you make. | | 114We work because it's a chain reaction, each subject leads to the next. | | 115In architecture the idea degenerated. Design allows a more direct and pleasurable route. | Architecture, Design | 116 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
