If there is a gay uniform the differences are in how each man coordinates the details: the brand and cut of the jeans the design of belts and boots the haircut the number and size of earrings.

I have had this view of the optimization of the electrode design for a long time. Historically we went through various phases in the work and eventually worked on large sheets - very large sheets - of palladium.

So the premise of 'The Submission' is that there's an anonymous competition to design a 9/11 memorial and it's won by an American Muslim an architect born and raised in Virginia and his name is Mohammad Khan.

Through all aspects of society be it art design the financial markets government technology or communications we are witnessing unprecedented global transformation - the result of which is impossible to predict.

I had been impressed by the fact that biological systems were based on molecular machines and that we were learning to design and build these sorts of things.

Everyone by now presumably knows about the danger of premature optimization. I think we should be just as worried about premature design - designing too early what a program should do.

It may sound ambitious but I really hope that modern design will spread all around the globe.

I think there is always a need for pure design. With pure design you don't need so much decoration.

Initially it was the unpractical in fashion that brought me to design my own line. I felt that it was much more attractive to cut clothes with respect for the living three-dimensional body rather than to cover the body with decorative ideas.

We have no general conceptual thrust for the band other than trying to make music that keeps our interest. When things are novel they are probably things we have discovered by accident or investigation rather than by design.

I used to design for my body which was flat-chested with big hips. That's why my clothes were tight on top with full skirts.

I really appreciate artists of the 20th century and I can see a lot of their influence on my work but to suggest that my design only fits within an 'ism' kind of bothers me.

How do you design it so that people can form a space of their own and feel quiet and contemplative?

For two years nobody talked about anything other than the name arrangement. There was no fund-raising and no progress being made on construction and design.

When I started this project I was a young architect. I was very apprehensive about any changes to the design. Whether I wanted to or not I learned that you can accept some changes to its form without compromising its intent. But it's a leap of faith that I didn't want to make initially - to put it mildly.

So I went for engineering specifically product design which I enjoyed.

It was something I was more interested in myself. When I went to see my sister dance at ballet I was really into costumes and the arts and my family was also supportive of whatever me and my sister wanted to do. I would say I pushed myself the most to be into design.

If you're talking to an architect he can look at a blank piece of paper and once the initial design is there the formula kicks in. Each room should have something unique and different about it - much the same way that in a song every eight bars or so a new piece of information should be introduced.

Perhaps I'd like to design cars but I don't think I'd be much good at it.

I discovered at an early age that all I've ever wanted to do is design.

There is no reason to design buildings that are more basic and rectilinear because with concrete you can cover almost any space.

I design my shots. I walk the rehearsal as the camera and say 'this is where I want to be... I want this look.

Longhorns are unique - each and every one of them is a different color with a different design.

I would like to mention that I have flown the 262 first in May '43. At this time the aircraft was completely secret. I first knew of the existence of this aircraft only early in '42 - even in my position. This aircraft didn't have any priority in design or production.
