Architectural thinking

publicarch.jpgYeah, you can call it ‘design thinking‘ if you want, but to my mind, that’s already played out. Yes, it’s true, the MFA is the new MBA, and the kind of thinking that creative types regularly employ to make pretty things is becoming more and more in demand. But still, it’s little more than a buzzword for creativity. So fuck it, I’m coining a new buzzword: architectural thinking. Yeah! Booyah! Dig that!

Ahem.

But see, architectural thinking is also creative, works by allowing all ideas to live in the same space (and it also employs design thinking) to imagine and create spaces and places that serve social causes and better human interaction. What I mean is that Public Architecture is doing it–and has been doing it–since before ‘design thinking’ was even an itch its daddy’s drawers. They’re pretty smart over there.
