“When the old way of seeing was displaced, a hollowness came into architecture. Our buildings show a constant effort to fill that void, to recapture that sense of life which was once to be found in any house or shed. Yet the sense of place is not to be recovered through any attitude, device, or style, but through the principles of pattern, spirit, and context.” WayShowsSpiritFoundHouseEffortAttitudePrinciplesSeeingStyleBuildingConstantPatternsArchitectureDevicesVoidShedOld WaysHollownessSense Of Place Author:Jonathan Hale

“Invention and entrepreneurship isn't about pure technology. Most people take whatever they see in front of them and relate it to something they understand. For at least ten years after Ford started building cars, people called them horseless carriages. It wasn't obvious to call it a car. They used to call the radio 'the wireless.' Innovation is much more about changing people and their perceptions and their attitudes and their willingness to accept change than it is about physics and engineering.” PeopleYearsUsedAttitudeAcceptingTechnologyCarFrontsBuildingPureTenPerceptionInnovationRadioObviousPhysicsInventionEntrepreneurshipRelateWillingnessEngineeringWirelessCarriagesAccepting Change Author:Dean Kamen
“Most people have desires that are great and they want to do great things, and they don't want to be negative people or they don't want to live in pessimistic attitudes, but the problem is a lot of them were not given the right tools.

“Worker-owned co-ops, on their own, floating in the market, tend to replicate the behavior of worker-owned capitalists in some circumstances. They sometimes develop positive participatory schemes, sometimes not. We know from the studies of worker-owned plywood companies in the US, they can tend to develop conservative attitudes, not socialist attitudes. So even though I'm an advocate of further democratization of the workplace, we also need to be building larger structures.” KnowsNeedsSometimesAttitudeCompanyStudyBuildingCircumstancesBehaviorStructureWorkersConservativeCapitalistSchemesSocialistWorkplaceFloatingReplicateDemocratization Author:Gar Alperovitz
“I'm not so interested in this series of ruptures, where minimalism took over pop art, and then neo-expressionism was a triumph over that. I'm not interested in rupture - I'm interested in healing, bringing things together, building bridges. Not dismissing what has come before as a kind of modernist precedent, where one thing has to be broken in order to achieve something else. I don't believe in that kind of attitude. I think we're beyond that at this stage.” ThinkingBelieveKindArtTogetherHealingAttitudeAchieveBuildingBrokenNot InterestedMinimalismPop Art Author:Philip Taaffe
“The establishment, both parties, think "Donald Trump may have built buildings and he may have written The Art of the Deal, but he can't do what we did. He can't even understand what we do because he's too stupid." They may not say it that way, but I guarantee you they have that attitude. These are arrogant people. They're very exclusive. It is a very elite, unique group, in their own minds, and they do tell themselves they're special and they're different and they're better.” PeopleThinkingMindArtDifferentPartyAttitudeSpecialStupidBuildingUniqueArrogant Author:Rush Limbaugh
