Quiet is better than loud.
From Dieter Rams
I am not an early bird. I go to bed normally between midnight and 1 o'clock, so it is understandable that I cannot be an early bird. I wake up around 9 o'clock.
Not the spectacular things are the important things - the unspectacular things are the important things, especially in the future.
Good design is making something intelligible and memorable. Great design is making something memorable and meaningful.
As designers, we have a great responsibility.
Design should not dominate things, should not dominate people. It should help people. That's its role.
Products have to be designed in a way that they are comprehensible.
I like to be in New York. Le Corbusier described it in the 1930s as a 'wonderful catastrophe.' It is still a wonderful catastrophe, but inspiring.
I sit, I think, I make some drawings. As a designer, you cannot retire totally.
There is a lot of bad architecture. What we need more is to look at how our landscape should look in the next decades.
