Architecture Exploration

Basically, This is my online sketchbook. It's full of my experiences thoughts and stuff I want to gather for inspiration. It's a compilation of influences that are part of my journey into becoming an Architect or whatever else life decides to throw at me (hopefully design related). I am currently in my third year in college and I'm still exploring this amazing field. Feel free to follow or ask anything -Kimberly Jean

Managing Criticism in Design Exploration

Nearly all successful teams understand and value a design exploration approach to solving problems, but how do you productively critic designs when so many options are being explored regardless of job titles or seniority?

Design decisions should always be based on what’s appropriate for the task at hand. If you find your design is being beaten down, the best way to fight back is to counter with “Well, when would my design be appropriate?”. Conversely, before you take pleasure in destroying someone else’s hard work, first make sure that you can answer “When is this solution great?”. […]

Lastly, always remember the golden rule of critique: don’t be a dick.
