We Must Write Our Own Story
September 14th, 2009 at 13:17We must write our own story & not rely on our back story. We can not live forever in what has already been. We must create what will be.
I have been pondering the idea of writing our own story, partly because I love to write and am about to undertake a large writing project. (see NaNoWriMo post and future post on Thinking Sideways) But more importantly, I believe that we have to be able to see the future we want in order to achieve it. We have to clearly chart the steps or story that will take us there.
Designing the world to be
The children’s Story Art section of DreamArc has also opened the idea of drawing as well as writing the future. This exercise can open the right brain up to the process since it speaks in pictures rather than words. The right brain is more intuitive and imaginative. Creative thinking is what we will need to begin the process of designing the future we want. The left brain will have plenty of opportunity to jump in and plot the course of our future story, but we must conceive the story design first.
Architectural Process
Perhaps this possible process intrigues me, because it is the process I have taken as an architect. The two sides of the brain have to participate on a fairly consistent basis: picturing shapes and mass then moving back and forth between program requirements to building codes to square footage requirements and back to the story of who will inhabit this space and how they wish to live, work, worship and play.
Children’s Story Time
These thoughts all bring me back to the Story Art Gallery.
I believe that children have found the key.
