Using Universal Forms and Principles in Design

 Nature Shares Genius

All children are born geniuses.

9,999 out of every 10,000 are swiftly,
inadvertently,
de-geniused by grown-ups.

 In emptiness, forms are born.
When one becomes empty of the assumptions,
inferences, and judgments
he has acquired over the years,
he comes close to his original nature
and is capable of conceiving
original ideas and reacting freshly.

Design is the act of applying technique
to an energetic form.
Nature is the classroom, the materials,
and the teacher.
Simplicity is at the heart of complexity.
