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.

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

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

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.

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