“We design our world, while our world acts back on us and designs us.” — Anne-Marie Willis Quote

We design our world, while our world acts back on us and designs us.

I design for the use of a building and the place and for the people who use it... the reputation for arrogance comes because when work is offered to me, I look whether I can find a genuine interest in quality.

I've got a design for an airship in my head, which I'm going to play around with. I've got ideas for buildings and studios and all kinds of stuff.

Gorillas are still wild creatures. That's made very clear when you observe them in nature. They charge and perform other displays that are terrifying by design. But they don't attack unless they feel threatened.

I have the same sense of discovery and exhilaration from objects of design and everyday use - I am inspired by the buildings in my city, by park greenery and dazzling store windows, by the jaunty strollers and umbrellas and billboards I walk past. Just strolling our streets, we encounter creativity every single day.
