Theory Response # 5

Quotes from A Whole New Mind  by Daniel Pink that I have found inspirational and enjoyed.

"Everything in your midst has been designed."

"Their learning to bring disparate things together to a solution. Thats what designers do." "We are producing people who can thing holistically." -Claire Gallagher

"Today it is economically crucial to create something that is also beautiful, whimsical, or emotionally engaging."

The most helpful and inspirational thing to me when it comes to design and architecture is first hand experience at seeing historic house, visiting designers and design factories, etc.  This is originally what sparked my love for design and architecture because since I was a kid I have traveled all over visiting design sites. 

I find design magazines such as Dwell to be insirational in gathering ideas. 

A History of Interior Design by John F. Piles is helpful in understanding the history of interior design and the future of interior design.

Architectual Sketching and Rendering: Techniques for Designers and Artists by Stephen A. Kliment is a good  reference in practicing skills for rendering and sketching.
