A guide to good design.

"So how do we know if a design is good? Simply put, good design raises spirits and makes life a little easier. Good design is essentially a matter of problem solving. Engineers solve mechanical problems. Designers solve human problems -or should. If the design does not work well, it may be art, but it is not good design. To make an object work, functionally and aesthetically, it must be placed in its proper context. A chair must fit into the room. The room must fit into the house.The house must fit into the street. The street must fit into the city."

  1. Per mi el bon disseny ha de tenir molta funcionalitat, sense perdre l'encant. Es tracta de tenir en equilibri lo pràctic i lo estètic, que es la gran guerra del dissenyador.

  2. Exactament, GARBI 24, totalment d'acord amb tu. Algun dia tractaré allò que la forma segueix la funció.És a dir, primer cal solucionar la funcionalitat del disseny. Aquesta produïrà l'estètica.
