Here we will politely suggest readers think again about both past and current design figures whose names they have heard of (often); or about a body of work some may already know well. To take a moment to ponder and even question what everyone seems to think–and why. Not just keep scrolling to the next beautiful image.

We don’t expect perfect agreement with some of the opinions that will be expressed in posts. If an error is made or a generalization pushed too far, corrections are solicited and welcome.

Great efforts will be made to check facts, link to sources and account for views that may differ from the posts blogged under the title Design For Living. If lively debate is fostered by posts, as long as it is conducted respectfully, we couldn’t be more pleased.
