2025/10/09

Today we dive into the world of how we build and why. And why are we all getting so sick? It's time to look at our building envelope the same way we look at food labels - we are being poisoned while we work and sleep. This is a re-presentation of a talk given at CIRSx in Phoenix / Tempe in June 2025.

People often ask about Feng Shui - and though I know a little about it I did a slightly deeper dive this week and am giving my report! It's an ancient system of design which is both practical and mystical, concerned with the flow of energy and balancing elements in all of our spaces for optimum health and success. Some people think it makes no sense but others see it as a non-negotiable way of life. Where do you fall? A few general guidelines, tips and tricks: Note this is a long and complex

Today's episode is an introduction to minimalism and the concept of styles being influenced by everything that came before it - that design can be a reaction to the previous generation, and minimalism can be seen as a response to excess consumption or decoration. We'll look at the origins of Minimalism, its current place in popular culture, and see it through different lenses. Below are a few links / additional resources.

Both the hexagon and the Merkaba symbolize the number 6. It is the first perfect number, meaning that 6 is both the sum and product of its factors: 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 1 X 2 X 3 = 6 https://www.britannica.com/science/perfect-number The number 6 is the symbol of the Law of Correspondence, i.e. as above so below. In other words, it is the equilibrium between the microcosm and the macrocosm which mirror each other. It also represents the concept of fractals which are repetitive patterns that can be

2024/03/26

Today's episode looks at the history of the "Architect" in the modern sense and the decisions made along the way that created a divide between the people who use buildings and the people who design them. Architects are notorious for having their own language, with some words that are necessary and some that are not. This episode takes the entire issue apart piece by piece, and ultimately proposes a way forward. Some further reading (very entertaining!)

I'm inviting you to take a look at your home design through the lens of your core values - to see if you are supported in being exactly who you were born to be. Even small shifts in furniture arrangements, art, space for specific activities can give you the feeling that your home is supporting you AS IT IS MEANT TO DO. Done properly, our home can be a battery pack that constantly encourages and recharges us. Time to listen to those inner feelings. DETERMINING YOUR CORE VALUES If you don't have a

Repetition is one of the most basic design principles, but it's also one of the most versatile. Repeating elements can make you feel safe, they can firmly establish brand identity, they can be ridiculous and humorous - or they can make you want to join the party! Come see how repetition affects our human minds, which crave a certain degree of conformity but reject it when it's too much. Some links that explain how this works:
