Design Quotes - page 27

When I design and wonder what the point is, I think of someone having a bad time in their life. Maybe they are sad and they wake up and put on something I have made and it makes them feel just a bit better. So, in that sense, fashion is a little help in the life of a person. But only a little. (Miuccia Prada)

I was obsessed with fashion when I was young. I thought fashion meant fashion design, and I thought I wanted to be a designer at some point.

Nina Garcia

There really are so many lines of work that you can join that don't have to only be design. And that was one that particularly interested me a lot, because the editors could appreciate all the trends, all the designs and all the work of the designers.

Nina Garcia

In fact, safety has no place anywhere. Everything that's fun in life is dangerous. Horse races, for instance, are very dangerous. But attempt to design a safe horse and the result is a cow (an appalling animal to watch at the trotters.) And everything that isn't fun is dangerous too. It is impossible to be alive and safe.

P. J. O'Rourke

The first 10 years of my professional life had only to do with running away from my father. He was a wonderful cabinet-maker, and me being the eldest son, I had to take over his shop, his profession and so on and so on. I tried to escape by going to art school and then going on to industrial design and then interior design.

Peter Zumthor

I design for the use of a building and the place and for the people who use it... the reputation for arrogance comes because when work is offered to me, I look whether I can find a genuine interest in quality.

Peter Zumthor

In order to design buildings with a sensuous connection to life, one must think in a way that goes far beyond form and construction.

Peter Zumthor

The clothes that I design and everything I've done is about life and how people live and how they want to live and how they dream they'll live. That's what I do.

Ralph Lauren

I don't like the idea that the first preparation when you start to design your building has to put your label. I think this is not fair. It's not fair to the building or to the people, to the client, because every building tells a different story.

Renzo Piano

Hey, you're lucky. My cabin is closest to the stables. I can hear her yelling all night: FIRST PLACE OR DEATH! AN A MINUS IS A FAILING GRADE! Leo really needs to design a gag that's better than my old sock.

Rick Riordan

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to the challenges facing our cities or to the housing crisis, but the two issues need to be considered together. From an urban design and planning point of view, the well-connected open city is a powerful paradigm and an engine for integration and inclusivity. (Richard Rogers)

Classical design is a mirror of the human mind. It's how we see the world.

Robert McKee

I was a cartoonist when I was at university, but I decided to go into movie making knowing that I could still draw by doing movies, design work, story boards, and such.

Robert Rodriguez

Ultimately we may still ask, why can't humans design a perfect society?

Robert Shea

Santiago Calatrava

What we do in the laboratory is we try to design drugs that will not just eradicate cancer cells but will eradicate their homes.

Siddhartha Mukherjee

I wouldn't say design has become strictly functional. A lot of cars these days look downright comic book to me, and the info-gadgets with which late industrial people spend the most time - phones, music players, etc. - are blobjects.

Scott Westerfeld

Acting isn't for me. I don't like being told what to do. I'm more interested in set design, more visually driven.

Sofia Coppola

The fusion of art and technology that we call interface design.

Steven Johnson

All those involved in the construction of an architectural design, from the architect to the builder, have an attachment to the architecture, although it's difficult to quantify the attachment.

Tadao Ando

My objective is to design a space that nobody else can come up with while using the material that anyone can use. (Tadao Ando)

It wasn't that I had any great dream of being an architect. I just wanted to make things. Whether it was furniture, painting, interior design, or architecture. I just wanted to create something.

Tadao Ando

We should not try to design a better world. We should make better feedback loops.

Tim Harford

I wound up studying art and design, got a job at Lonely Planet Publications as a designer, cartographer and illustrator.

Trudi Canavan

My architectural drive was to design new types of buildings to help poor people, especially following natural disasters and catastrophes... I will use whatever time is left to me to keep doing what I have been doing, which is to help humanity.
