-**Paolo Antonelli's (MoMA) article on governing by design**: "design applied not as a mere aesthetic or functional tool but as a conceptual method, based on scenarios that keep human beings in focus, with the means consequently allotted in elegant, economic, and organic ways to achieve the imagined goals. Even though design alone will not solve everything, it will, as always, help create and implement effective solutions that are attuned to human nature." - http://seedmagazine.com/content/article/on_governing_by_design/
