5 P's

I like to share with you the 5 P's I developed for myself as well as fellow designers who pursue the art and craft of making architecture or any creative pursuit. I believe these are necessary character traits to sustain oneself through a long rewarding career and to become a mature poetic pragmatic designer/architect. I have repeated the word Practice because it is what we continually do when designing. We each develop our own process and practice of design like a martial art form. Finding the form that aligns with our individual vessel is our lifelong personal quest.        

The 5 P's are here to support this pursuit.
Passion, Perception, Practice, Perseverance, Patience & Practice

Passion fuels the desire to create.

Perception allows us to see the possibilities internally and externally in time and space.

Practice allows us to continuously work out our ideas, concepts and visions.

Perseverance supports us, by showing up, not giving up and pushing through.

Patience gives us time for observation and reflection, which opens the space further to receive.

*Practice after Patience brings us even closer to the discovery.

 


I wish us all vitality, passion, success and open minds in the coming year.
May our creative energy flow into receptive channels at the fitting time, so that the
least amount of creative energy is wasted.
