circular thinking
For most people apparently, design is a very logical process, as it is also commonly expounded and expressly delivered. This simple procedure it seems, equates to a very simple linear process. With me I prefer and gravitate towards a more circular method. A design can be conceived from looking at an idea from as many angles as possible, akin to looking or inspecting a sphere. By this method, any design is assessed and conceived for its value both schematically as well as from the point of its workability, concurrently. An consideration or deliberation or an action is not followed nor processed linearly one after the other. All of the choices and options are presented and contemplated at the same time, at all scales of the project. I call this the spherical method.
