I think that I create my spaces in much the same way that you do.

“I’m filling my spaces all the time with my thoughts, opinions, conversations, and questions. I’m being helped, and helping others inside of my space and inside of their spaces.”

Like you said, the magic happens when you let others in and well, when you learn to have a little fun with it all (in my opinion).

I’m finding that physical spaces are multi-functional now that technology and information have become ubiquitous. We create temporary spaces wherever we go and as needs arise.

My friends, armed with iphones or blackberries, can quickly turn a restaurant (or quick lunch space) into an effective meeting space, bridging multiple physical localities. When called by work to produce an emergency presentation, note, or report, a corner of my living room becomes my office space.

Recently, my seat on an airplane was temporarily my development workstation as my 14″ laptop had sufficient clearance to open fully (tip: the economy seats in the row ahead of the emergency exits can’t recline). It became a creative space.

While I believe that permanent spaces are necessary and making those spaces functional is important, we live in a world that is moving pretty fast. We have to be flexible enough to make the most of spaces, be it physical or otherwise.

Anyhow, great post Sue. I’m still amazed that you can kick these out within 20 minutes, everything being fully conceptualized in your mind beforehand. You must have a highly disciplined creative space!

I have published 9 books so if you need a hand at all just ask … see http://www.sydneywaterfronts.com
Mine are photo (aerial) books so I suppose that’s a different angle on a familiar space.
Don’t hold back with the book. You’ve got it!

Thanks Tim – it’s amazing what happens when we open up our spaces to others. As for a book – you never know… :)

Interesting I was just thinking about this very thing and then I opened up this blog. Maybe our spaces were intersecting .. possibly concentric for a nanosecond.
For me its the ‘share’ factor that brings the dimension and exponential potential to the space thing. the shared space thing.
I recently gave a lecture on light theory and the digital image. Thinking old school prior to the event I was going to be guarded and not let out all ‘my secrets’. How idiotic.
I delivered ‘all’ and had an amazing post lecture interaction with not only those present but also the intelligence of the industry at large also. I delivered and in return ‘it’ delivered.
So thank you for this great blog on spaces. Actually you should take it further … maybe a best seller.
It doesn’t only work in your spaces or our spaces it works multidimensionally in and on all our spaces.
Thanks you
Tim
