To get physical and logical materials cooperating in functional units is a triumph of technoscience — convergence of earth and man.

To inspire people, to touch and move them, to form, to ensoul, to animate community, both inwardly and outwardly, is a miracle of culture — convergence of heaven and man.

To do both — to draw heaven and earth together so they touch, interpenetrate and dwell in us, through us, among us and around us — this is the highest aspiration of alchemy. Or, as some of us know it today: design.
