“I have always been interested in fashion as an informing design discipline: proportion structure, detail, materiality, texture, color and quality. With a heightened interest in, and an awareness of the built environment, the 'store' has become a critical, perceptual and psychological component of merchandising as well as imaging. Architecture and fashion are partners.” WellsInterestQualityEnvironmentAwarenessFashionDesignColorDisciplineBuiltStructureDetailsCriticalStoresArchitecturePartnersPsychologicalProportionComponentsTextureInformingImagingMaterialityMerchandisingBuilt Environment Author:Charles Gwathmey
“If you try to impose a rigid discipline while teaching a child or a chimp you are working against the boundless curiosity and need for relaxed play that make learning possible in the first place... learning cannot be controlled; it is out of control by design. Learning emerges spontaneously, it proceeds in an individualistic and unpredictable way, and it achieves its goal in its own good time. Once triggered, learning will not stop--unless it is hijacked by conditioning.” IfsWayNeedsTryingFirstsChildrenPlayGoalTeachingAchieveDesignDisciplineCuriosityGood TimesControlledUnpredictableRelaxedConditioningBoundlessIndividualistic Author:Roger Fouts
“I don't think he (Joseph Albers, fh) ever realized that it was his discipline that I came for. Besides, my response to what I learned from him was just the opposite of what he intended.. ..I was very hesitant about arbitrarily designing forms and selecting colors that would achieve some predetermined result, because I didn't have any ideas to support that sort of thing - I didn't want color to serve me, in other words.” ThinkingWantIdeasFormResultsSupportAchieveDesignColorDisciplineOppositesResponsePredeterminedHesitant Author:Robert Rauschenberg

“...Simplifications have had a much greater long-range scientific impact than individual feats of ingenuity. The opportunity for simplification is very encouraging, because in all examples that come to mind the simple and elegant systems tend to be easier and faster to design and get right, more efficient in execution, and much more reliable than the more contrived contraptions that have to be debugged into some degree of acceptability....Simplicity and elegance are unpopular because they require hard work and discipline to achieve and education to be appreciated.” MindLongHardOpportunityIndividualSimpleGreaterAchieveExampleDesignHard WorkDisciplineEasierDegreesImpactSimplicityFasterRangeEfficientExecutionElegantAppreciatedEleganceIngenuityFeatsSimplificationSimplicity And Elegance Author:Edsger Dijkstra
“And I'm the first one to tell people to break the rules. But you can only break the rules once you know what the rules are.

“Innovators have to be open. They have to be able to imagine things that others cannot and be willing to challenge their own preconceptions. They also need to be conscientious. An innovator who has brilliant ideas but lacks the discipline and persistence to carry them out is merely a dreamer ... But crucially, innovators need to be disagreeable ... They are people willing to take social risks-to do things that others might disapprove of.” PeopleNeedsIdeasMightAbleSocialChallengesCreativityImagineRiskDesignWillingDisciplineBrilliantPersistenceDreamerInnovatorsBrilliant IdeasDisagreeablePreconceptions Author:Malcolm Gladwell

“The danger of these collaborations across disciplines is in having too strict of a division of labor - in my case, of getting stuck doing the music.
