“A greater awareness in architects and planners of their real value to society could, at the present, result in that rare occurrence, namely, the improvement of the quality of life as a result of architectural endeavour.”
Cedric Price, Cedric Price - The Square Book (Architectural Monographs

Dr. Seuss
“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
Nothing is going to get better. It's not.”
Dr. Seuss, The Lorax

Maggie Macnab
“Design is a fundamental human activity, relevant and useful to everyone. Anything humans create—be it product, communication or system—is a result of the process of making inspiration real. I believe in doing what works as circumstances change: quirky or unusual solutions are often good ones. Nature bends and so should we as appropriate. Nature is always right outside our door as a reference and touch point. We should use it far more than we do.”
Maggie Macnab, Design by Nature: Using Universal Forms and Principles in Design

“A great building must begin with the immeasurable, must go through measurable means when it is being designed, and in the end must be unmeasured.”
Louis Kahn
