design cases by David Adjaye
"Only when a work is not explainable other than in terms of itself can we say that we are in the presence of art. This ineffable quality is the hallmark of an authentic work. Whoever contemplates it receives a "shock" that is unmistakable and, above all, unexplainable - a shock that he or she will try in vain to explain in rational terms.
There are no reasons.
If there were, we would have a way to build a convenient machine for making art through logic and grammar....." - Carlo Mollino
