btw that last bit is a bit over the top imho..
"When people say design is about 'what works', we should ask 'What works where?' and remind them that one of the locations where design has to do its work is the human soul, a place we need Blake, Freud and Dali, not Newton, Brunel and Brockmann, to explain. And if that's a somewhat 'rockist' argument for expanding the definition of functionality into non-rockist areas, well, shoot me. Preferably with a non-functionalist gun."
"what works where" is true. but it's not as simple as he states. the human brain is divided into different section with different perceptions of information, so it's actually relative to whatever section you want to be activated (or need to activate as a designer)..
