I'm sure you often reflect on the meaning your practice has in your personal life.
So my question to you is...
How can you develop your inner life as an individual through your outer practice as an architect and designer?
This is possible because the outer landscapes you create around you - for yourself and for others - are reflections of your inner landscape.
Your practice is a picture of your values, feelings and individual disposition.
Your values, feelings and individual disposition create your unique practice.
So here’s an exercise to sharpen your awareness of this.
Candidly and diligently reflect on what you do every day, your actions only. You can also do this with feelings or thoughts, but it is easier to start with actions.
Observe and record your daily activity as an outsider would. I once recorded what I had done every half hour for three days, sleeping excluded.
From diligent focus to day dreaming, fussing with details to prioritising objectives, creating timelessly to rushing to finish, making lists and ignoring them, making jokes and reflecting quietly….
Through seeing yourself more objectively, you know where to work on your practice to find deeper meaning in your personal life.
