ERIK ADIGARD
To say that something is designed means it has
intentions that go beyond its function. Otherwise it's
just planning.
AYSE BIRSEL
The machine replaced human labour and now human
brain-power. But I think technology's next step will be
to work for the spirit, the heart.
SOTORI MIYAGI
The design process, at its best, integrates the
aspirations of art, science, and culture.
JEFF SMITH
When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it
attached to the rest of the world.
JOHN MUIR
Process is more important than outcome. When the
outcome drives the process we will only ever go to
where we’ve already been. If process drives the
outcome we may not know where we’re going,
but we will know we want to be there.
BRUCE MAU
Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen
and thinking what nobody has thought.
WILLIAM GIBSON
Insight is the thing that will help you see where you
need to go; knowledge is the fuel that ignites insight;
information and data are the stepping stones that
enable you to walk towards knowledge
JONATHAN IVE
Any sufficiently advanced technology is
indistinguishable from magic.
ARTHUR C. CLARKE
I roamed the countryside searching for answers to
things I did not understand.
LEONARDO DA VINCI
I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to
myself I seem to have been only like a boy, playing on
the seashore, and diverting myself, in now and then
finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than
ordinary, while the great ocean of truth lay all
undiscovered before me.
SIR ISAAC NEWTON
You never know what’s going to arrive in design. You
have to extrapolate from the materials where they
want to go.
ROSS LOVEGROVE
What is elegance? It is probably a combination of
shape, colour, beauty, gentleness, expression and
function.
JAN KAPLICKY; FUTURE SYSTEMS
Creativity is not device dependent. Forget technology
think with your mind.
BRUCE MAU
Simplicity of device is always the sign of the master,
whether in science or in art.
