Welcome to the March 9th issue! Hope you enjoy this issue, Jan jans@bizsmart.net
-------------------------- Uses: Use it as a planning tool for creating a new office, work, creative, or studio space. Use it to help you remodel or update your existing space. Background: I'm fascinated about how a physical environment can support, encourage, and inspire. Traditional "office spaces" have been mostly functional and lack inspiration, to say the least. I'll be using this template as I move into my new creative space. How to: Click on the image above and see an expanded version via a web page. Start in the far right hand corner and answer a few general questions. Then proceed through the map as you wish. Add or expand on areas as necessary.
Feature Article: Talking in Circles I know many college students have this experiences - a very cool professor who does something extraordinary that makes learning a pleasure and leaves a big impression. For me, that person was a professor of Sociology who often lectured outside of the classroom - literally in the great outdoors. Not unusual, I know - read on, it gets better... When he held class outside, we didn't sit in the cool grass under a tall shade tree. We didn't sit in an empty patio area with chairs and tables or on anything that even resembled a "traditional" learning environment. Instead, we sat in an abandoned fountain in the center of "old" campus. The fountain consisted of a large statue in the middle, and the water was collected in a round pool surrounding the statue.
The circular pool walls were about two
feet high, and created a nice although unusual bench for a group of
12 students. We sat facing the statue. Between the large
statue and the makeshift bench, there were a few feet of empty
space. As I
"listened" to his lectures, I would often wonder what people walking
by thought about him. I would think about how neat it was
that were outside. And I used to wonder if he ever felt dizzy walking
around the fountain so many times. Now, go create it!
 p.s. Email me and let me know what you think about this idea... |
