There is no city in America that has reduced crime as much as we have in the last three years. This is not the product of accident. This is the product of design. – Rudy Giuliani
There is an interior style we intellectuals and design policy wonks know as Haut Euro Pooftastic, which really takes the biscuit. – Peter York
So that ideas of sort of relaxed symmetry have been something for years that I have been concerned with because I think that symmetry is a neutral shape as opposed to a form of design. – Robert Rauschenberg
You drift through life and let things happen to you, or go by design and say, ‘This is what I’m intended to do.’ – Rick Warren
To me, it remains incomprehensible that a people who can design the Porsche 911 and sleek, white ice trains, who created the Bauhaus and speak at least three languages at birth, want to own twee Christmas figurines painted in gaudy colours, dress up in Bavarian lederhosen, and eat Haribo gummy bears. – Rory MacLean
All brands, whether high-ticket luxury ones such as Cartier or Rolls-Royce or ‘masstige’ ones with luxe-y overtones but altogether more affordable, all want to grow. Even brands that may have started in a modestly niche design and lifestyle fashion can find themselves under pressure to go global or to sell out at the top. – Peter York
I’m constantly thinking about design, shapes, patterns and colors, so I just want to be more of a blank canvas. But there is a comfort in knowing what you’re going to wear, and that probably comes from Catholic school, where I wore a uniform for 10 years. – Prabal Gurung
When you design a building, you start from a general philosophy, and you come down, and you start from detail and come up. Only the theoretical architect believes that you can make the concept and then sometime, somebody will come to build it. – Renzo Piano
By appreciating the darkness when you design the light, you create much more interesting environments that truly enhance our lives. – Rogier van der Heide
Design can never be an ultimate explanation for anything. It can only be a proximate explanation. A plane or a car is explained by a designer but that’s because the designer himself, the engineer, is explained by natural selection. – Richard Dawkins
I love cities, I spend most of my life talking about cities. And the design of cities does have an effect on your life. You’re lucky if you can see trees out of your window and you have a square nearby, or a bar, a cornershop, a surgery. Then you’re living well. – Richard Rogers
Buildings designed with careful attention to aesthetics arouse and enlighten their occupants and that promotes their good health. – Robert Evans
It’s not enough to have a hacker culture anymore. You have to have a design culture, too. – Robert Scoble
Most of the things at the zoo don’t look like us. We’re one design that works. Our chimp pals sort of look like us, so that’s a different take on the same basic design. But fish don’t look like us, and giraffes don’t. They look a little like us, but not too much. And insects certainly don’t look like us, and they work just fine. – Seth Shostak
We had the Windows app store in Windows 8, but one of the big changes in the design of Windows 10 is to make sure that the app store is front and center where our usage is, which is the desktop. – Satya Nadella
I am always updating and coming up with something fresh, whether it’s a colour, a trend, or a design, as my uncle always taught me to be unique and different. – Rey Mysterio
I always tried to design something new and of the moment. The idea was not to make something that would last, but to make something a woman could really wear when she needed it, like a good friend. – Pauline Trigere
Just as predatory animals follow a similar general design and behave in similar ways, so organizations, especially those in competition with one another, must follow certain design principles if they are to succeed and prevail. – Robert Shea
The aim of being a good designer is to have an influence. If you design furniture or lifestyle, you should influence the way people evolve globally. It’s good to have an influence. – Olivier Theyskens
I always kept the fans happy. They always saw a different Rey, whether it was a mask, a design, a color. I never gave them the same thing twice and always kept them on their feet. They were always excited to see what Rey was going to bring to the table. – Rey Mysterio
The point is that I don’t design stuff for myself. I’m a toolmaker. I design things that other people want to use. – Robert Moog
Designs are increasingly winning competitions because they are literally green, and because somewhere they feature a small windmill. – Rem Koolhaas
The sky is a free asset in design, and nothing unnecessary should be planted that takes away the sky. – Rachel Lambert Mellon
London is one of the most civilised places in the world for the procedure of making architecture and urban design. – Renzo Piano
I don’t like the idea that the first preparation when you start to design your building has to put your label. I think this is not fair. It’s not fair to the building or to the people, to the client, because every building tells a different story. – Renzo Piano
We must carefully consider card security solutions, such as adding photographs or machine-readable electronic strips, so to prevent further breaches of individual privacy that could result from changes to the design of Social Security Cards. – Ron Lewis
