Quotes by David Cage

Quotes by David Carson

The dreaded phrase in design circles is 'show and tell.'

Quotes by David Carson

Quotes by David Carson

For some reason I have a visual intuition that allows me to design things in an interesting way, and I don't know where that came from. Because I don't have this formal training, I seem to drift in a different direction.

Quotes by David Carson

When you think of all the things that are made from oil or in the chemical industry, if in the future we could find cells to replace most of those processes, the ideal way would be to do it by direct design.

Quotes by Craig Venter

Agriculture as we know it needs to disappear. We can design better and healthier proteins than we get from nature.

Quotes by Craig Venter

Quotes by Courtney A. Kemp

Being a sculptor who uses found objects, all the objects I use in my work have been designed by other people. So I'm tweaking them in some way by squashing them or throwing them off cliffs! Then I formalise my damage by suspending them or arranging them in some kind of way. So I'm using other people's design in a way, so I'm an 'un-maker.'

Quotes by Cornelia Parker

Quotes by Cornelia Parker

Product design is fed by the avant-garde.

Quotes by Byron White

Airplanes were invented by natural selection. Now you can say that intelligent design designs our airplanes of today, but there was no intelligent design really designing those early airplanes.
