Design is everything. Everything!

A good designer must rely on experience on precise logic thinking and on pedantic exactness. No magic will do.

When I design buildings I think of the overall composition much as the parts of a body would fit together. On top of that I think about how people will approach the building and experience that space.

To design the future effectively you must first let go of your past.

This is what I like about being a designer: You can't really get it until you see it.

To 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.

About half my designs are controlled fantasy 15 percent are total madness and the rest are bread-and-butter designs.

Design is not for philosophy it's for life.

Every contrivance of man every tool every instrument every utensil every article designed for use of each and every kind evolved from a very simple beginnings.

Recognizing the need is the primary condition for design.
