(p. 63)  Design and Analysis

"The traditions of Western thinking are based on analysis and argument. 
The major thrust of Western education is "analysis."  In order to
understand information, in order to understand situations, we need to
analyze them.  Through analysis we break down complex and unknown
situations into bite-sized chunks that we can recognize and with which
we can cope."

"With analysis we are interested in 'what is.'  With design we become
interested in 'what could be.'"

"...Unfortunately, design is not just the putting together of elements
in a sort of additive way.  There is a need for concepts and these
concepts will not come simply from the synthesis of separate elements."

(p. 64) "instead of assuming that analysis reveals a map with ready-made
roads upon it, we should assume that the map only shows the terrain and
we have to 'design' the roads."
