Richard Meier (architect) on 'What is good design?'

American Architect Richard Meier talks to mydeco.com about what makes a design great. What is good design? "Great design is something which has a longevity to it, because it's an appreciation of what it is. I think there is a lot of great design, not only in architecture, in product design. Well the nice thing about doing products is, I make a sketch, we draw it up and in a few months hopefully we get a prototype. With architecture it goes on for two years, three years, ten years! So, in a sense this is instant gratification." Richard Meier
