"If you take footage of a bottle shattering and play it backwards, you can see the broken pieces whoosh back together to form a bottle again, thats a good metaphor for design. You dont know what the fragments are going to create, and some pieces may be far out of reach. A designer has to take all these shattered pieces and combine them into a concrete item in one instant. This is interesting. It needs to be done instantaneously, without missing a single piece."
Naoto Fukasawa
The most eloquent and beautiful definition of design I have come accross. Really lovely metaphor, and quite comprehensive.
