Beginning
June 15, 2023: Creative Lab 3 is now official.
Creative Lab 3 started as an idea in late 2022. An outcome of my attempt to answer this question: What three principles do you want to guide your thoughts, words, or actions?
My answer at the time was Creativity, Exploration, and Collaboration.
Creativity: Bringing into existence, expanding opportunities, vision, and mindset
Exploration: Lab for iterating, experimentation, continuous improvement
Collaboration: The number 3 symbolizes that it takes more than 1 to do meaningful work, and we get to design our relationships
We can improve our built environment and the human experience through Creativity, Exploration, and Collaboration. Thus, Creative Lab 3 was born, embodying the essential elements of design’s value to the world and signifies my commitment to embracing new frontiers.
In the summer of 2023, I set out to create the next generation of what an architectural practice can be. I am deeply motivated to bring my knowledge, skills, and methods to more people and places, inspire change, and transform our collective potential through the built environment.
To drive progress, we must shape the ethical and innovative convergence of people, place, purpose, design, and technology to create the next generation of ideas, relationships, and spatial frameworks.
I started Creative Lab 3 to bring great design to more people and places, take on new challenges, and operate at a different scale to stay nimble. This endeavor allows me to reallocate my time to contribute more to projects, influence the architectural profession, and guide the next generation through educational initiatives.
Why use this picture I took at Dia Beacon?
The project is aspirational; it expands our creativity and has given a new purpose to a structure for the next generation. It is beautiful in form, purpose, and composition, with daylight, volume, texture, and materiality - Art and Architecture come together; it encapsulates simplicity, timelessness, and functional beauty.
