in most people's vocabularies, design means veneer. it's interior decorating. it's the fabric of the sofa. but to me, nothing could be further from the meaning. design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation that ends up exposing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service. [steve jobs | ceo, apple computer]

each skyscraper - in the absence of real history - develops it's own instantaneous folklore. through the double disconnection of lobotomy and schism - by separating exterior and interior architecture, and developing the latter in small autonomous instalments - such structures can devote their exteriors only to formalism and their interiors only to functionalism [rem koolhaas | delirious new york, 1978]
