“Good design inspires visual wonder and delivers functional solutions — the balance of art and science. Good design also enriches our culture, our attitudes, and our outlook by creating places that, through design excellence, make us more effective, make us think, or make us grow. In other words, good design should look good, work well, and then, ultimately, make us better people.”
