Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context – a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, an environment in a city plan

Eliel Saarinen, via Ben Terrett

To save me having to keep finding this quote on Ben’s blog, I’ve decided to add it to my own. It’s just so nicely put.

A great way to say Systems / Design / Holistic / Strategic / Integrated / Contextual / Joined-Up thinking, without having to decide which of those loaded terms is least triggering for the audience.

Just, consider context. Always.
