Architecture of the Space:
- Ideas can get together to make something greater combined
- Old way of thinking
- Scientists, artists, craftsmen had spaced dedicated to where they could brainstorm ideas together
- Now attempting to replicate through patterns
- We need to apply our own environments to make them more creative
- Replicating patterns in similar ways in our heads
- Collaborate!!!
- Working as a community/team player
- Flash, stroke, epiphany are common stereotypes of how we think ideas come about
- Not the case at all
- Its a NETWORK
- slowly put together, not all at once
- People aren't very good at self-supporting own ideas (take others ideas, not original)
- AHA moment never truly takes place
- Best ideas come out of sharing
- FADE INTO VIEW over time
- Following something small can lead you to something HUGE
- Push ideas that seems small and may not go anywhere
- "Chance favors the connected mind"
