/// "Design is that area of human experience, skill, and knowledge that reflects man's concern with the appreciation and adaptation of his surroundings in the light of his material and spiritual needs. In particular, it relates with configuration, composition, meaning, value, and purpose in man-made phenomena." — Bruce Archer
/// In response to my paraphrasing Ed Keller's parting words of advice after defending my graduate architecture thesis, "If any depth is to be journeyed to, one must narrow a focus."... Marcos Novak writes, "Narrower focus (attention in space), broader span (attention through time), but both with context."
