Quotes | Steven Holl

" 

...in that first project I developed two systems that were very complicated. I had been studying Le Corbusier and tried to come up with something original. In the end, the dimensions required cutting from construction materials larger than standard sizes, so there was enormous waste in the construction of this little house. You learn these lessons. The house is full of little naiveties that were learned in the making. That’s part of growing up.


...My father had a sheet metal company, so when I was fourteen or fifteen, I used to make ductwork. I laid out very complicated geometries, so maybe that level of geometry came from working with my father.

Quote from Massimo Vignelli interview with Art4D

"I'm in America because it's a country that needs the help. It needs help and that's why I have been there all my life as a missionary. As a missionary of design fighting the vulgarity that otherwise, every job we do in America is a job that we subtract from the vulgarity field."

Massimo Vignelli

from the interview with Art4D magazine

Design - Mario Bellini

"Design is not the product of a modern understanding. When the humankind started living on this Earth, man started cutting stones and cutting woods and making tools and try to setup huts. That is design"

-Mario Bellini
