We talk about you know diet and that we shouldn't give our kids big things and obesity and fast food. Well you know there are people who don't have that problem because they're not getting any food! We have so many deep problems and issues facing humanity.

I don't have a problem with my body. I don't diet and I'm not hiding anything. I'm not going to be the subject of a movie of the week 10 years from now.

The medical literature tells us that the most effective ways to reduce the risk of heart disease cancer stroke diabetes Alzheimer's and many more problems are through healthy diet and exercise. Our bodies have evolved to move yet we now use the energy in oil instead of muscles to do our work.

Throughout the country I see the same design problems and solutions over and over.

A lot of people in our industry haven't had very diverse experiences. So they don't have enough dots to connect and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one's understanding of the human experience the better design we will have.

Design is directed toward human beings. To design is to solve human problems by identifying them and executing the best solution.

Good buildings come from good people ad all problems are solved by good design.
