design

I do two things. I design mobile computers and I study brains.

I've found that people who design computers don't know a lot about displays.

My background was in graphic design, but when I was doing it, it was all hand-drawn stuff, not computers.

I just like music that sounds like music. Not like machines and computers and things that you design to make things sound slick and perfect.

Computers are to design as microwaves are to cooking.

Usually I design the lighting and when I have the physical set there, I'm not good at going out loosely and saying, 'Do you what you want, give it to the editor, and he'll figure it out.' I physically then walk on with the actors and I say, 'Let's walk until you guys feel the space works for you, and tell me when all that happens.'

How do you design it so that people can form a space of their own, and feel quiet and contemplative?

So we originally expected to make about 35 gigawatt hours at the cell level and about 50 gigawatt hours at the module or pack level. Now we are expecting to do about 150 gigawatt hours in the same volumetric space as the original design.

If I wasn't an actress, I'd be a designer. I love interior design and inventing things that are practical but also beautiful - looking at a space and creating magic.

I don't think there is anything wrong with white space. I don't think it's a problem to have a blank wall.

Graphic Design, which fulfills aesthetic needs, complies with the laws of form and exigencies of two-dimensional space; which speaks in semiotics, sans-serifs, and geometrics; which abstracts, transforms, translates, rotates, dilates, repeats, mirrors, groups, and regroups, is not good design if it is irrelevant.

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.

Think of yourself as a brand. You need to be remembered. What will they remember you for? What defines you? If you have it in you, do something that defines you. Invent something, develop a unique skill, get noticed for something _ it creates a talking point.

The space within becomes the reality of the building.

All architecture is shelter, all great architecture is the design of space that contains, cuddles, exalts, or stimulates the persons in that space.

Architecture is basically the design of interiors, the art of organizing interior space.

There is no reason to design buildings that are more basic and rectilinear, because with concrete you can cover almost any space.

Space is the breath of art.
