Michael Hansmeyer Quotes

I'm interested in designing not the object but the process that leads to the object.

If we can think about not the object, but the process of creating the object, in short, we have no constraints. We have processes in our hands that allow us to create structures at all scales that at one point we couldn't even have dreamed of.

The traditional notion of an architect having a vision of a building and then drawing it either on paper or on a computer and then constructing it isn't really how architecture works, and in reality, the computer has a lot of influence on design.

If we had no bias, if we had no preconceptions, what kind of forms could we design?

[There are] unseen objects that await us, if we as architects begin to think about designing not the object, but a process to generate objects.
