A Sick Morning

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Since I'm sick this morning and am incapable of work, I decided to browse through some older inspirations (before ourpermanence came about), and I came upon this. I have always referred back to Bruce Mau's incomplete manifesto over the years, I just hope to share it with you guys so it can make us all better designers.

And one of my many favourites:

#32
Listen carefully.Every collaborator who enters our orbit brings with him or her a world more strange and complex than any we could ever hope to imagine. By listening to the details and the subtlety of their needs, desires, or ambitions, we fold their world onto our own. Neither party will ever be the same.
