Nice definition to me. I always tell our students that it is not about
the buildings we build, but the people which will use them. I am
rather "user centered".

Thank you, Marc, first thing to do: throw away that eraser! (they
aren't allowed in the classroom). The mere thought of being able to
erase is no good. It is just like "tipp-ex".
The moment I got rid of these bottles I started to learn to write
without making mistakes.
I can tell you with confidence that there are mistakes in these
drawings, I just know some tricks to "trick the eye". If you don't
like the picture, you take another one don't you? same goes for
sketching...

As I am doing research about design processes right now, I can tell
you: be happy you don't know why. Just enjoy the green colour. I have
the very strong feeling for the moment that not EVERYTHING has to be
explainable, please leave some of the "romantic"
