I like the body. I like to design everything to do with the body.

Design is everything. Everything!

A good designer must rely on experience on precise logic thinking and on pedantic exactness. No magic will do.

When I design buildings I think of the overall composition much as the parts of a body would fit together. On top of that I think about how people will approach the building and experience that space.

To design the future effectively you must first let go of your past.

This is what I like about being a designer: You can't really get it until you see it.

To whom does design address itself: to the greatest number to the specialist of an enlightened matter to a privileged social class? Design addresses itself to the need.

About half my designs are controlled fantasy 15 percent are total madness and the rest are bread-and-butter designs.

Design is not for philosophy it's for life.

Every contrivance of man every tool every instrument every utensil every article designed for use of each and every kind evolved from a very simple beginnings.

Recognizing the need is the primary condition for design.

I design for real people. I think of our customers all the time. There is no virtue whatsoever in creating clothing or accessories that are not practical.

Good buildings come from good people ad all problems are solved by good design.

Color does not add a pleasant quality to design - it reinforces it.

Luck is the residue of design.

Delay always breeds danger and to protract a great design is often to ruin it.

Perhaps believing in good design is like believing in God it makes you an optimist.
