How would you picture yourself during your 8h-work a day? If you were to draw yourself in a typical work day how would you do it?
Forget about your current work place, just imagine, draw your mental projection of you working. Would you be at a desk, would you wear glasses, would you have plants around you, would it be artificial light, would it be air conditioning?
How do you think the others around you (would) envision you - the professional programmer - in a typical work day? Would it be in a dark corner, bent over a keyboard and wearing your nerdy expression? Or it'd be under sun light, a merry, open expression on your face?
If it is a gray environment what you picture, if it's tens of light bulbs above you, if it's only aluminum and concrete and no plants, if it's halls and no terrace, then there is an alternative and architect Norman Foster knows it.
Watch and do the exercise above again. (The first 10 minutes of the video might bore the impatient, but it becomes really interesting afterwards)
about me
- Lucian Ciufudean
- First there was this Programmer; who then wanted to become a Project Manager; after he learned what a Leader was, it was the Project Manager who wanted to become a Programmer; so he quit his job and did so. Then there was this Programmer who wanted to become a Blogger, and these two can go together. Architect ... it's one of the hats of the Programmer, or the other way around.
