I strive in my residential design work to create spaces that will support identifed areas of activity and the personality and interests of the people who live there. Extreme Makeover does this for families with special needs and especially with children's bedrooms. Those bedrooms are really great, and of course, they have remarkable resources available to them and a crew to make it happen. The quesiion is: What happens next?
There are 4 componets to the idea that I am thinking about. One is to identify the personality of the occupant of a space. The second is to create a supportive space. Then this third idea is about the interaction that happens and changes or validates or fosters growth in an individual or groups. Then the last component is that now that we have this wonderful, supportive environment, how to we identify the growth we want to foster--how to we become the person we are meant to be? Because I think this is the most meaningful goal we could have for ourselves--how do we discover who we are, where we need to be and who we need to become. The environment is the stage that should help us achieve this. What are the tools we need?
