You probably don’t want to hear this, but it is time we stopped talking about architecture. We need to get out of the gilded box we built ourselves into. We should be thinking about educating, training and celebrating developers. The challenges of the future are so much more complex and systems-based than the object culture architecture currently embraces. We need a new culture of responsibility and comprehensive engagement with long-term implications that can only come from broadening the base of architecture to include the design of the business models that generate most of the qualities we live with in our cities. So long as architects self-marginalise by purposely excluding the business of development and its real burden of complexity and decision making from their education, from their business, architecture will remain a gentleman’s weekend culture, unwilling or unable to take on the heavy lifting and big problems, happy to polish fancy baubles for our urban entertainment. Bruce Mao on why Development is more important than Architecture
"the starting point is never the design, it's not the end point. It's the manifestation of some set thinking... design isn't the think you go away with. Attitude , principals what your trying to tackle..." Nicolas Roope

Education is as important as literacy.
If you're not prepared to be wrong you will never come up with anything original by the time children become adults they have lost that capacity, they are frightened of being wrong
We are educating children out of their creative capacities. Picasso once said, all children are born artists, the problem is to remain an artist as we grow up. I believe this, we do not grow into creativity, we grow out of it.

According to the UNESCO in the next 30 years more people will be graduating from unversities than since the beginning of history. Suddenly degrees aren't worth anything. Now you need an MA where before you needed a BA
We need to radically rethink our view of intelligence. We know three things:
-It's diverse: we think about the world in all the ways we experience it, we think visually, we think in sound kinisthetically, we think in abstract, in movement
-Intelligence is dynamic.
-It's distinct.
I believe our only hope for the future is to adopt a new conception of human ecology one in which we try to reconstitute the richness of human capacity. Our education system has "mined" our minds in the way that we strip mine the earth for a particular commodity, and for the future it won't serve us. We have to re
There is a wonderful quote by Jonas Salk who said "if all the insects were to dissapear from the earth, within 50 years all life form would end. If all humans beings dissappeared from the earth all life forms within 50 years would flourish." And he's right.
What TED celebrates is the gift of the human imagination, we have to be careful that we use this imagination wisely and that we avert some ofthe scenarios we have talked about and the only way we'll do it is by seeing our creative capacities for the richness they are and seeing our children for the hope that they are and our task is to educate their whole being so they can face this future. By the way we may not see this future, but they will and our job is to help them make something of it.
