There is no one-size-fits-all solution to the challenges facing our cities or to the housing crisis, but the two issues need to be considered together.

Of course, to publish something, you have to write it, polish it, then hire out the line editing, copy editing and cover design.

Some people said, ‘Oh you’re going to become a fine artist now and do exhibits and stuff.’ But I have no desire to do that. I really like design and I’m going to stay with it. – Stefan Sagmeister
Wearing a bold print gets harder as you get older. It’s safer to stick to subtle prints or block colours. I have always found prints quite tricky. My daughter Carly, who is on the design team at Stella McCartney, is obsessed with them. – Twiggy
The principle of the design – the harmony, rhythm and balance are all the same with interior and fashion design. – Venus Williams
