I would say that an understanding of man's intrinsic needs, and of the necessity to search for a climate in which those needs could be realized, is fundamental to the education of the designer.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Everything we design is a response to the specific climate and culture of a particular place.
Design needs a new relationship with the world, one that is more focused on our planet's needs.
Design is about point of view, and there should be some sort of woman or lifestyle or attitude in one's head as a designer.
The engineer, and more generally the designer, is concerned with how things ought to be - how they ought to be in order to attain goals, and to function.
Design is a way of life, a point of view. It involves the whole complex of visual communications: talent, creative ability, manual skill, and technical knowledge. Aesthetics and economics, technology and psychology are intrinsically related to the process.

Our guiding principle was that design is neither an intellectual nor a material affair, but simply an integral part of the stuff of life, necessary for everyone in a civilized society.
A person should design the way he makes a living around how he wishes to make a life.

Engineering, medicine, business, architecture and painting are concerned not with the necessary but with the contingent - not with how things are but with how they might be - in short, with design.
