Design Notebook

Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context - a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, an environment in a city plan.
Eliel Saarinen

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
Robert Heinlein

Almost all quality improvement comes via simplification of design, manufacturing... layout, processes, and procedures.
Tom Peters

You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality.
Walt Disney
