“We shape our dwellings, and afterwards our dwellings shape us.”
– Winston Churchill as cited on ANFA’s video “The Difference 100 years makes”
Thank you Jim Olds and Jennifer Sturgis for your kind introductions. I am delighted to have the opportunity to be involved in this collaborative project, especially here at the Krasnow Institute.
The first phase of the “neuro-architecting” process will be the information gathering phase (Discovery Phase) in which I will be conducting faculty and staff interviews in order to better understand how you live/work/interact in your personal and communal habitats. I expect to have the interview tools prepared by the end of next week, and would like to invite you to schedule an interview beginning the week of July 4 (after the holiday) through the end of July. Each interview should take 30 minutes to 1 hour – as your schedule permits. I can be contacted by email: meredith@anfarch.org, or by phone: 202.478.2500 x 52.
As we embark on this discovery, I encourage you to imagine, play, and defer judgment … no idea is a dumb idea.
I look forward to meeting each of you in person – or electronically in the case of those traveling this summer. Please feel free to post or email comments at any time.
