Lad os få nogle kloge ord på bordet. Alle er velkomne til at bidrage med tankevækkende citater.
For at indskrænke det lidt, kunne det være interessant med design, arkitektur og typografi relaterede citater.
A designer is an emerging synthesis of artist, inventor, mechanic, objective economist and evolutionary strategist.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Good typography is like bread: ready to be admired, appraised, and dissected before it is consumed.
Robert Bringhurst
By all means break the rules, and break them beautifully,
deliberately, and well. That is one of the ends for which they exist.
Robert Bringhurst
If you keep shouting, you are not making communication any better. You are only removing talking and whispering from the system.
Bruno Monguzzi
Style = Fart
Stefan Sagmeister
When I am working on a problem I never think about beauty. I only think about how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong
R. Buckminster Fuller
Beauty without depth is just decoration
Metadesign
The designer leads a kind of karaoke existence, always singing someone else's song, and never saying what he thinks should be said

"Style = Fart" virker
"Style = Fart" virker umildbart ret useriøs ved første øjekast, men hvis man har læst Stefan Sagmeisters bog "Made You Look" forstår man hvorfor han er blevet så kendt for at sige netop den sætning.

Useriøst? Jeg synes faktisk det er en meget seriøs kritik da man jo kan konstatere at 9/10 tilfælde hvor stil påføres er det jo ikke andet end en gang varm luft.

[b]Eco-efficiency is an outwardly admirable, even noble, concept, but it is not a strategy for success over the long term, because it does not reach deep enough. It works within the same system that caused the problem in the first place, merely slowing it down with moral proscriptions and punitive measures. It presents little more than the illusion of change.[/b]

"Nothing is original. Steal
"Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from - it’s where you take them to."

Super thread! Många bra citater. Några till:
"I have designed plastic chairs and chosen colours for them like so many other designers, and seeing them littering the sidewalks I have become profoundly ashamed of my work and the profession as a whole. That’s visual-pollution design, a phenomenon that’s much too common nowadays, and I think it’s time we designers accepted responsibility for the appearance of the man-made environment."
"Design seems like a teenager to me: loud, in-your-face, attention-seeking, kind of quirky, immature...I think an understanding of the essence of design is well on its way. In Paris, for example, I’ve been watching as cafés lose their designer looks in favour of something more atmospheric and natural. I mean, who really enjoys sitting in a design café?"

Har lige læst [url=http://www.amazon.com/Super-Normal-Sensations-Naoto-Fukasawa/dp/30377810... Normal: Sentations of the Ordinary[/url], der står nogle interessante ting i.
[i]"Design makes things seem special, and who wants normal if they can have special? And that’s the problem. What has grown naturally and unselfconsciously over the years cannot easily be replaced. The normality of a street of shops which has developed over time, offering various products and trades, is a delicate organism. Not that old things shouldn’t be replaced or that new things are bad, just that things which are designed to attract attention are usually unsatisfactory. There are better ways to design than putting a big effort into making something look special. Special is generally less useful than normal, and less rewarding in the long term."[/i]
[b]Jasper Morrison[/b]
[i]“'Super Normal' is less concerned with designing beauty than seemingly homely but memorable elements of everyday life. Certainly nothing 'flash'or 'eye-catching;' never contrived, but rather almost 'naff' yet somehow appealing. As if, when viewing something with expectations of a new design, our negative first impressions of 'nothing much' or 'just plain ordinary' shifted to '… but not bad at all.' Overcoming an initial emotional denial, our bodily sensors pick up on an appeal we seem to have known all along and engage us in that strangely familiar attraction. Things that possess a quality to shake us back to our senses are 'Super Normal.'"[/i]

Men anyway, ett par till:
"A sad truth is that almost every solution designed today, even the most "sustainable" one, has more of a negative impact on the planet than a positive one. This means that the world would be better off if most of what was designed was never produced."
"Don’t do things today that make tomorrow worse."
