But To Me, To Be Original Is

And Where I Grew Up In Australia, Surfing Was A Part Of Culture.

One Of The Best Things I Ever Did Was To Train In A Practical Skill. I Love Computers And They've Become Such A Part Of Life, Especially To The World Of Design. But It's Important To Understand That They Are A Tool, As Much As A Hammer Or A Saw Is A Tool. Computers Don't Help You Design. There Needs To Be More Emphasis On Training Young Designers In How To Build Things. A Good Writer Needs A Good Vocabulary. A Good Designer Needs To Understand His Materials And Processes. You Can't, As A Successful Designer, Pretend To Get Any Respect If You Don't Know How Things Are Made.

But To Me, To Be Original Is To Be Yourself.

If You Can Just Be Yourself, Then You Have To Be Original Because There's No One Like You.

People Kind Of Tend To Mystify Design And Architecture By Suggesting You Need To Train.
