Recognizing the need is the primary condition for design.
It is not easy to do something good, but it is extremely difficult to do something bad.
The real questions are: Does it solve a problem? Is it serviceable? How is it going to look in ten years?
Art resides in the quality of doing, process is not magic.
In architecture the idea degenerated. Design allows a more direct and pleasurable route.
Who ever said that pleasure wasn't functional?
