defining DESIGN

What is design?... It's where you stand with a foot in two worlds—the world of technology and the world of people and human purposes—and you try to bring the two together. [Mitchell Kapor]

Design is in everything we make, but it’s also between those things. It's a mix of craft, science, storytelling, propaganda, and philosophy. [Erik Adigard]

Design is not making beauty, beauty emerges from selection, affinities, integration, love.
[Louis Kahn]

Design shapes the way we live. So it ought to serve everyone.
[Eva Maddox]

When people say they don’t understand design, it’s because they don’t get involved in the process.
[Tom Dair]
