Good question!
Somewhere between T.S. Eliot and Louis Kahn, I'll garble
a quote and say: Between the darkness and the light falls the shadow.
Designers are often "in between" -- workers who determine what
other workers produce. Designers are often both victims and executioners.
Once again, damn the persons who put them in such a situation!
Do you agree?
From "in between"-land....
