5 Architecture

  • 1. The speed of change makes you wonder what will become of architecture.
  • 2. I'm drawn to furniture design as complete architecture on a minor scale.
  • 3. 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.
