the workshop is about
This weekend residential workshop will embrace design as a spiritual process.
It will tap the essence of sacred and artistic traditions and draw out
practices that can be used in contemporary design applications. From a
foundation of self awareness you will be introduced to the 10 principles
of spiritual design and how they can be applied in your personal design
practice. This will not only provide an added creative dimension to your
craft, but will also enhance your personal integrity in professional life.
Reference will be made to eastern concepts of form, space and energy and
what influences their experience in both contemplative and physical ways.
This will place an emphasis on both connecting with the natural environment
as well as our responsibilities to create balance and harmony.
Topics covered will include:
- Reconciling life purpose with the design process
- Energy principles of space creation
- The moment of design conception
- Processes of meditation in design
- The role consciousness when designing
The workshop will incorporate instruction, interaction and specific design
exercises to bring the theory into practice. It will provide you with
a new set of 'subtle' design tools which will assist in areas such as
site analysis, conceptual design and managing design expectations. The
core content of the workshop can be implemented immediately into your
design practice.
What you will Gain
- A reinvigorated personal design process
- Greater integrity in your professional practice
- A new range of design tools
- Sharing creative ideas with other designers
