As Stephen Fry said in the Guardian today about Steve Jobs:
“The standards he set, the passionate belief he had in the way that technology, the arts, design, fun, elegance and delight could all co-exist, the eternal pushing for higher standards, the refusal to accept standard paradigms in anything, either the conventional modus operandi of corporate affairs, technological matters or market practices was an example from which the world will continue to learn.”
Puts in to perspective how we all (architects) continue, by and large, to peddle the same old bollocks… How many of us can really claim to shift paradigms?
Me neither…
