Hi.
Im Doug Patt and this is how to architect.
Where do good ideas come from?
Ideas come from inspiration, so how are we inspired?
Inspiration comes from everywhere: nature, movies, books, people, products, images, dreams,
actions, necessity, and the list goes on.
We look, hear, touch, taste or smell something, it makes connections in our brain and we act
on the result.
I often say, Its in the doing that the idea comes.
Its in the action that comes from inspiration that our ideas are born, reciprocate and evolve.
Ancient man saw lightning strike a dry forest and watched fire consume it.
He felt the heat and saw the burned remains of an animal.
It smelled good.
He ate it and got full.
The lighting inspired him.
The resulting flames gave him an idea.
Fire was born.
That Neanderthal is long gone, but we still use his idea today.
Inspiration comes from all kinds of places.
It turns out that Ideas are much bigger than the people that have them.
We use ideas to make our world.
The ideas we use and the things we make outlive us.
Im Doug Patt.
Well see you next time.
