Art and Process
Process, process, process. I have to keep reminding myself that the process of design is what is important, not the final product. Kind of like considering the drive to your vacation house as part of the vacation itself. My first hand experience and initial interest with this idea originated from discussing art with my artist fiance. What I found most intriguing was similar to Gehry’s approach to architecture, the lack of a presumed outcome. What I am finding and learning is that the ability to work within constraints without presumed outcomes is a learned behavior and can be improved upon and it starts with recognizing the idea exists and practice. The implications in business of gaining a deeper understanding through the design process are numerous, many of which are mentioned within this blog.
To further understand the design process I recommend befriending an artist and discussing their process of creating art and attempting to make some art yourself.
