• ‟ In nature, there is no separation between design, engineering, and fabrication; the bone does it all.

  - Neri Oxman
  

• ‟ The future of design is a future where anything material in the environment - whether it's wearables, cars, buildings - can be designed with this variation of properties and relationship with the environment that can take part in the natural ecology.

  - Neri Oxman
  

• ‟ In the end, it's clear that the incorporation of synthetic biology in product and architectural design will enable the transition from designs that are inspired by nature to designs made with and by nature to, possibly, designing nature herself.

  - Neri Oxman
  

• ‟ I grew up in a modernist house, in a modernist culture. There was a love for modernism everywhere - the furniture, the books, the food, even the cutlery. So I learned very early to appreciate the value of design and the value of architecture.

  - Neri Oxman
  

• ‟ I'm not a mother of children, but I'm a different type of mother where my approach to design is more in line with nature. It's less about dictating and more about editing and listening and allowing something to grow. So I nourish and let the material express what it wants to be.

  - Neri Oxman
  

• ‟ The world of design has been subjugated by the rigors of manufacturing and mass production.

  - Neri Oxman
  

• ‟ When I came to MIT, there were four rubrics: science, art, design, and technology. And as you entered your degree, whether it was a master's or a Ph.D., if you were a citizen in one domain, you were a traveler in the other.

  - Neri Oxman
  

• ‟ A great dream of mine would be to run a design studio full of scientists who think about science as creatively as if they were doing art.

  - Neri Oxman
  

• ‟ I don't separate architecture, design, or culture. What's more important is a language of creativity that carries meaning.

  - Neri Oxman
  

• ‟ At least since the Industrial Revolution, the world of design has been dominated by the rigors of manufacturing and mass production. Assembly lines have dictated a world made of parts, framing the imagination of designers and architects who have been trained to think about their objects as assemblies of discrete parts with distinct functions.

  - Neri Oxman
  

• ‟ Could we design an all-glass building with internal channels and networks for airflow and water circulation? Can we surpass the great modern tradition of discrete formal and functional partitions and generate an all-in-one building skin?

  - Neri Oxman
  

• ‟ I often ask myself, 'What would design be like if objects were made of a single part? Would we return to a better state of creation?'

  - Neri Oxman
  

• ‟ How can we reinterpret 3-D printing in a way that suggests a new design language?
