Becoming Usefully Unique

If nothing is original, and our efforts are actually an accumulation of many borrowed ideas, we should at least acknowledge what those ideas are, and who they are coming from.




Below is a list of "efforts" accompanied by the architect I am most inspired by for those particular ideas. Try filling out the list, and adding terms to further define your unique set of interests.


The goal of this exercise is to develop a more deliberate filter for observing the plethora of work we look at everyday. Don't hesitate to ask yourself questions, it's the only way to get to know yourself better.
