-: "The infrastructure can help in the creation of engaging : environments or platforms that stimulate the users’ cognitive spontaneity and playfulness as well as overall positive affect state, thus encouraging further exploration, tinkering and experimentation."
 ; [http://opendesignnow.org/index.php/article/redesigning-design-jos-de-mul/ Redesigning Design, Jos de Mul]
-: “The design industry is going through fundamental changes. Open design, downloadable design and distributed design democratize the design industry, and imply that anyone can be a designer or a producer.” (Tom Hulme)
-:"The designer of the future has to become a database designer, a meta-designer, not designing objects, but shaping a design space in which unskilled users can access user-friendly environments in which they can design their own objects. "

-:"The clay must be prepared, for instance, so that it is homogeneous (…), plastic (…), and yet able to maintain consistency so that it can take on contours without spilling like water."

-:"While templates are molds, defining the border around what is in or out... skeletons are backbones, core structures that can hold very different bodies."
+; Print is Flat, Code Is Deep, N. Katherine Hayles
-:"When design decisions are based on nothing more than a global sense of the nature and format of the data that will appear as header, footer, or body... than templates end up as collections of clichés, essentially functioning just like stock photography because all you can do is prepare for the mediocre, the common denominator."
