“Good designers must always be one step ahead of the times. They should–and must–question everything generally assumed. They must have an intuition for the changing attitude and position of the Authority Having Jurisdiction. They must be able to assess realistically the opportunities and short comings of the technology itself.  For the reality and environment in which the system will exist, the different challenges each occupancy brings and the people that use them with their living habits.” 

-Michael Culmer

“Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.” –Steve Jobs

“If you think good design is expensive, you should look at the cost of bad design.” –Ralf Speth
