"It was always my goal to ‘up the ante’ on good design and rye devoted much of my career to this." ― Michael Graves Topic(s): Design More From Michael Graves "In any architecture, there is an equity between the pragmatic function and the symbolic function." "The dialogue of architecture has been centered too long around the idea of truth." "I see architecture not as Gropius did, as a moral venture, as truth, but as invention, in the same way that poetry or music or painting is invention." More In Design "The wisdom of crowds works when the crowd is choosing the price of an ox, when there’s a single numeric average. But if it’s a design or something that matters, the decision is made by committee, and that’s crap. You want people and groups who are able to think thoughts before they share."― Jaron Lanier "Pete Dye introduced me to golf course design back in the 1960’s. He came to my hometown Columbus, Ohio to work on The Golf Club."― Jack Nicklaus "That’s something I learned in art school. I studied graphic design in Germany, and my professor emphasized the responsibility that designers and illustrators have towards the people they create things for."― Eric Carle
