If something is easy to repair, it is easy to construct.

Make the workmanship surpass the materials.

Design is a plan for arranging elements in such a way as best to accomplish a particular purpose.

It's easier to fix damage than it is to create it.

Design should be easy in the sense that every step should be obviously and clearly identifiable. Simplify elements to make change simple so you can manage the technical risk.

I'm trying to assemble materials for a different mode of life.

Make the hard ones look easy and the easy ones look hard.

In other words, each piece of the building must look as though it was designed for that particular building.

Manufacturing is more than just putting parts together. It's coming up with ideas, testing principles and perfecting the engineering, as well as final assembly.

I've found in my life that the parts that you're right for are the parts that you get. It's really usually quite easy because you're kind of right.
