“The term architecture is used here to describe the attributes of a system as seen by the programmer, i.e., the conceptual structure and functional behavior, as distinct from the organization of the data flow and controls, the logical design, and the physical implementation. i.

“Science tries to answer the question: "How?" How do cells act in the body? How do you design an airplane that will fly faster thansound? How is a molecule of insulin constructed? Religion, by contrast, tries to answer the question: "Why?" Why was man created? Why ought I to tell the truth? Why must there be sorrow or pain or death? Science attempts to analyze how things and people and animals behave; it has no concern whether this behavior is good or bad, is purposeful or not. But religion is precisely the quest for such answers: whether an act is right or wrong, good or bad, and why.” PeopleMenTryingBodyPainScienceReligionAnswersAnimalDesignOughtSorrowBehaviorConcernCellsFasterBehaveTelling The TruthContrastAirplaneQuestsMoleculesInsulin Author:Warren Weaver
“Most clients expect experience design to be a discrete activity, solving all their problems with a single functional specification or a single research study. It must be an ongoing effort, a process of continually learning about users, responding to their behaviors, and evolving the product or service.” ProblemProcessEffortStudyDesignProductsActivityBehaviorResearchEvolveUsersClientsOngoingRespondingDiscreteSpecificationsResearch StudyContinually Learning Author:Dan Brown

“To design an easy-to-use interface, pay attention to what users do, not what they say. Self-reported claims are unreliable, as are user speculations about future behavior.” SelfUseEasyPayAttentionDesignBehaviorClaimsPay AttentionUsersSpeculationUnreliableInterfaces Author:Jakob Nielsen
“Things have a behavior online, whereas in print, there is a single canonical expression for them, but online everything responds to different criteria or has inherent states to it based on that criteria. So, you have to design that in a different way. It's a completely different dynamic even though it may look similar.” WayLooksMayDifferentStatesDesignExpressionBehaviorDifferent WaysOnlinePrintInherentCriteria Author:Khoi Vinh

“The need to be thoughtful about experiment design is particularly acute within large companies, since some of the behaviors, such as having small teams and tapping into low-cost resources to maximize flexibility, won't come naturally to many people inside huge companies.” PeopleNeedsCompanyTeamDesignHugeCostBehaviorLowsResourcesExperimentsThoughtfulFlexibilityTappingLarge Companies Author:Scott D.

“I have an admiration, even though I'm not likely to do that sort of thing myself, for [Ayn] Roark's behavior when he decided that his design was not being followed - which was a gross violation, by the way, of private property rights, because the building was his.” WayRightsDesignBuildingBehaviorDecidedPropertyAdmirationGrossViolationPrivate PropertyProperty Rights Author:Murray Bookchin
“Architecture is inherently a totalitarian activity. One thing we hate about it is that when you design a space, you're probably designing people's behavior in that space. I don't know if we know how to change that, but our goal is to make spaces for people rather than people being subservient to spaces.” PeopleHateGoalDesignBehaviorArchitecture Author:Vito Acconci

“I believe that the place where an animal dies is a sacred one. There is a need to bring ritual into the conventional slaughter plants and use as a means to shape people's behavior. It would help prevent people from becoming numbed, callous, or cruel. The ritual could be something very simple, such as a moment of silence. In addition to developing better designs and making equipment to insure the humane treatments of all animals, that would be my contribution.” PeopleNeedsBelieveMeanMomentsHelpingUseWould BeDiesI BelieveSimpleAnimalSilenceDesignBecomingShapesBehaviorSacredPlantDevelopingContributionTreatmentRitualConventionalEquipmentHumaneSlaughterCallousMoment Of Silence Author:Temple Grandin
“Educational exchange can turn nations into people, contributing as no other form of communication can to the humanizing of international relations. Man's capacity for decent behavior seems to vary directly with his perception of others as individual humans with human motives and feelings, whereas his capacity for barbarism seems related to his perception of an adversary in abstract terms, as the embodiment, that is, of some evil design or ideology.” PeopleMenHumansFeelingsSeemsFormTurnsEvilIndividualNationsTermDesignCommunicationBehaviorPerceptionCapacityRelationInternationalEducationalIdeologyRelatedMotiveAbstractDecentAdversariesVaryInternational RelationsContributingEmbodimentBarbarismPerception Of Others Author:J.
