 I think that design is the collision of deliberate human thought with tasks of tool making, of communication, of construction. But it's not just the work of doing those things, what's slightly exuberant is that it's meta-work. It's an inflection of effort as you undertake those tasks. And at the end of the day, I think that great design feels like life, only more so. What's so exciting about the Cooper Hewitt National Design Awards and what's so overwhelming and lovely as a recipient is to realize that the recognition is not for an individual work, not for a single project, but for a continuum, a trajectory that includes many works and an evolution of thought and ideas and efforts.
