Design is an autoantonym, meaning both "clear thinking made visible" (Edward Tufte) and "prettiness with as little concession to the needs of users as possible." Today’s Horrible Example of the latter is a $41 million dollar library with three floors it can’t use.

Another reminder of why I admire Erno Goldfinger as an architect- he always realised that his buildings would have end users and spent time living in all of them.
