Process Blog


this blog will follow my master's thesis in architecture


Thesis statement:
I intend to explore creative methods and processes and how they can enhance our built environment. Understanding and utilizing one's creative process is essential to advancing human achievement. Without aberrant schema there is no mutation, there are no new species of technology or art, no advancement. Environments, processes and methods that cultivate creativity are essential to human progression. Understanding the framework from which these devices derive is fundamental to accepting their validity.

Abstract:
The creative process is a key element to generating great architecture, art and science. In order to best utlize this process one must understand different types of creativity, environments that inspire creativity, different processes and techniques and how the conscious and subconscious handle creative thought and creative production. To architecturally explore creative process as it applies to and/or derives from psychology, philosophy, art and/or design is essential to guide and increase creativity. Communincating what is found is equally as important as finding it. A structure with the primary purpose of communicating and allowing creative thought, an architectural muse to inspire creative production, is intended.

Last September with that thesis statement and abstract, I began reading, researching and writing about what I have found and assimilated. I wrote a "book" covering the research and my design intent.

This blog will follow my process as it relates to the design portion of the project. Hopefully it will help me make connections about my own creative process and shed light on the subject in general.
