When I started this project, I was a young architect. I was very apprehensive about any changes to the design. Whether I wanted to or not, I learned that you can accept some changes to its form without compromising its intent. But it's a leap of faith that I didn't want to make initially - to put it mildly. Michael Arad on design
For two years nobody talked about anything other than the name arrangement. There was no fund-raising and no progress being made on construction and design. Michael Arad on design
How do you design it so that people can form a space of their own, and feel quiet and contemplative? Michael Arad on design
I really appreciate artists of the 20th century, and I can see a lot of their influence on my work, but to suggest that my design only fits within an 'ism' kind of bothers me. Michael Arad on design
I used to design for my body, which was flat-chested with big hips. That's why my clothes were tight on top with full skirts. Betsey Johnson on design
We have no general conceptual thrust for the band, other than trying to make music that keeps our interest. When things are novel, they are probably things we have discovered by accident or investigation rather than by design. Steve Albini on design
Initially, it was the unpractical in fashion that brought me to design my own line. I felt that it was much more attractive to cut clothes with respect for the living, three-dimensional body rather than to cover the body with decorative ideas. Jil Sander on design
I think there is always a need for pure design. With pure design, you don't need so much decoration. Jil Sander on design
It may sound ambitious, but I really hope that modern design will spread all around the globe. Jil Sander on design
Everyone by now presumably knows about the danger of premature optimization. I think we should be just as worried about premature design - designing too early what a program should do. Paul Graham on design
I had been impressed by the fact that biological systems were based on molecular machines and that we were learning to design and build these sorts of things. K. Eric Drexler on design
Punk's influence on music, movies, art, design and fashion is no longer in doubt. It is used as the measurement for what is cool. Malcolm Mclaren on design
Through all aspects of society be it art, design, the financial markets, government, technology or communications we are witnessing unprecedented global transformation - the result of which is impossible to predict. Malcolm Mclaren on design
So the premise of 'The Submission' is that there's an anonymous competition to design a 9/11 memorial and it's won by an American Muslim, an architect born and raised in Virginia, and his name is Mohammad Khan. Amy Waldman on design
I have had this view of the optimization of the electrode design for a long time. Historically we went through various phases in the work and eventually worked on large sheets - very large sheets - of palladium. Martin Fleischmann on design
If there is a gay uniform, the differences are in how each man coordinates the details: the brand and cut of the jeans, the design of belts and boots, the haircut, the number and size of earrings. Lance Loud on design
Wherever there is a design that is highly successful in a broad range of similar environments, it is apt to emerge again and again, independently - the phenomenon known in biology as convergent evolution. I call these designs 'good tricks.' Daniel Dennett on design
There is a group of individuals who are radical jihadists. We need to call them by name. They believe it is OK to kill people in the name of their religion. It is not all of Islam. It is not all Muslims. But there is a subgroup who believe it is OK. In fact, it is their plan and design to kill people. Tim Pawlenty on design
And I think my sexuality was heavily repressed by the church, by the, you know, the design of the mortal sins. Thomas Keneally on design
So much of it is the design of the shot or the motion of the character it's the work you do so that it has the same things that are in the movie. In just a few frames it's got to communicate something clearly and dramatically. Dennis Muren on design
