Creative Block

By Rhonda Daugherty


Space has limitless possibilities, and the art of capturing the internal bliss that seamlessly fades in and out, is a challenge. Architects are artists that focus on holistic aspect of design, and architecture students are trainee’s that fumble the ball while conceptualizing. The difference between knowing and wanting to know, is experience, and unfortunately trainees are struggling to find his or her niche that will set them apart from the masses. On the other hand, sometimes when you are digging deep to become a superb fictitious designer, you often run right into the creative brick wall. That’s when you have to ask yourself, “Do I start over, or do I commit to this project that I have unknowingly married?”


Next you must ask yourself two questions before you let any short term project marriage go on:

1. Can I create spaces that will speak volumes and convey my concept visually?

2. Do you see this structure as an actually three dimensional design?

If you answer no to either one of the pervious questions, I am afraid it is time to get a divorce.


Inspiration has limitless possibilities and one should always make it a point to put his or her best foot forward and move pass lingering ideas that will only absorb your time. Take a walk, pain, cry, live, etc…Those are the only ways you can shred the old ball in chain!
