What do you value in your communication with young designers?
The straightfowardness and the open mind. And also the honesty. I like to discuss with young students because of they have sharp opinions and sometimes very clear insight about design and lifestyles. When you work long in the field your opinions get sometimes blurred. That is why it is so refreshing to talk with young designers, they are so clear and sometimes stubborn (!) with their ideas and point of views.

How should a young designer approach a new assignment?
With patience and humbleness. Every project is a learning process, sometimes you can learn more from failures than victories. Design is a life long learning process and you cannot attain it within few projects. It is important to understand the premises and constrains of each project since they are the guidelines and in the end they will help you with the project! I remember one older colleague saying to me that the most difficult task for an architect is to design whatever building to whatever place...

What advice do you have for young designers?
Keep your opinions, trust on your heart and your insight. You should also follow the other fields and their development, not only design. A designer should know about economics, litterature, cinema, fashion, music… lots of things that are related to design and people´s life. The best designers that I know are all the time curious about everything surrounding them. Design is a lifelong engagement and sometimes very lonely work, so you better stand also solitude.
