I got into this little habit of architecture and building. I designed a house in Colorado and one in Hawaii. The idea is supposed to be build and sell - but then I can never bring myself to sell them. Trey Parker
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. Herbert Simon
Marc Newson quote: "People kind of tend to mystify design and architecture by..."
People kind of tend to mystify design and architecture by suggesting you need to train. Marc Newson
And when an architect has designed a house with large windows, which is a necessity today in order to pull the daylight into these very deep houses, then curtains come to play a big role in architecture. Arne Jacobsen
Charles Eames quote: "In architecture the idea degenerated. Design allows a more..."
In architecture the idea degenerated. Design allows a more direct and pleasurable route. Charles Eames
There is a lot of interest in the arts, music, theatre, filmmaking, engineering, architecture and software design. I think we have now transitioned the modern-day version of the entrepreneur into the creative economy. John Baldacci
