Quotes: Ben Hamilton-Baillie

"What's wrong with how we engineer things is that most of what we accept as the proper order of things is based on assumptions, not observations. If we observed first, designed second, we wouldn't need most of the things we build." 

–– Ben Hamilton-Baillie (1955-2019), British architect, urban designer, and movement specialist
