“The Space Effect”

“We’ve used habitable volumes since the beginning of our recorded and unrecorded history, and will continue to use them in support of human occupation, motivation, and experience into the future. We may ultimately produce habitations on the Moon, (probably in caves) and someday on our neighboring planets in much the same way perhaps that we prehistorically inhabited caves on Earth… Ironic.

Our world has tepees, yurts, Dogon villages, Pueblos, office blocks, mansions, hospitals, funeral homes, and condos on Miami Beach. It has banks, and schools, camps and residences, recording studios and theaters, bus stations and airports, studios and jails… Some of these spaces may be experienced by all of us every day…

This is one reason why the design of space is so important…it defines the places where so many of the experiences of our lives occur. Unfortunately we often overlook its impact upon us, and how it may influence and affect our human behaviors.”

How and Why We Become the Spaces We Inhabit

I highly recommend this free eBook by SpaceTherapy Co-Founder & Prof. of Architecture, Roger Richmond for those interested in a more in-depth look at how our personal and work environments are having a profound impact on behavior.

The concept of designed space influencing human behavior is gaining more significance in architecture educations. Spaces are more than just rooms, large enough for an activity…they may be considered as behavioral settings, where even subtle aspects may have long lasting positive or negative effects on the occupants…

“Thanks very much, Terry, for the wonderful event.  It was quite experiential and felt very much like collaboration and dialogue rather than simply a presentation. You really put your heart and soul into the event.  We enjoyed our time tremendously. We will be sure to consider you for future design dilemmas, and will spread the word about the amazing personal environmentalist that you are. Thanks for your contribution to humanity.  As an Architect of Change, you are helping the world to be more at peace amidst this paradigm shift of awareness we are experiencing.”

“On Being A Witness To The Art Of The Earth

Nature, in its infinite diversity and interplay, presents ever unique spatial moments of such beauty, grace, and wonder as to astound whoever discovers this astonishing world of natural “art” all around us.

Nature is like a “museum” and the “galleries” are endlessly available to us to discover if we just slow down our modern techno-distraction driven pace, and simply engage in the joy of real seeing beyond just looking.

A special camera enables me to record a unique view of this world that is usually beyond our capacity to perceive 3 dimensionally. The beauty of nature’s “sculptures,” events, colors, interactions and spaces in a vast and ever-evolving and changing spectrum of patterns and expressions is truly everywhere, miraculous, and available if we offer it the attention it deserves.

Macro 3-D photography enables us to enter this unique world reality that is as credible and legitimate as the one we experience daily.  Seeing these images may rekindle our much needed, newer, and deeper appreciation, gratitude, and respect for the amazing natural world in the everyday, and of which we are a part.”  Roger Richmond

I guarantee, you’ll NOT be disappointed.

Wine, cheese and crackers also available.

Please RSVP me as soon as possible.

Looking forward to seeing you.

“Returning Kilter to Your Client’s Home.”

“Returning Kilter to Your Client’s Home.” (…and What it Means to be Out of Kilter.)

As designers we have the power and responsibility to better our clients’ lives.  As an architect, consultant, and keynote speaker, I’m excited to be giving another keynote presentation, this coming week for AIBD (American Institute for Building Design).  My passion and focus is on how our emotional and physical needs can be better served by the built environment.  My approach integrates principles from architectural and interior design, behavioral psychology, neurology, immunology, the ancient art and science of placement and advanced common sense.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Blessings,

The Japanese words for “space” could change your view of the world

 

“When you are the first person to arrive in a meeting room, do you think of it as being empty or full?

If you were raised in the West, a meeting room is made for people to meet. Therefore, if there are no people in that room, then of course it must be empty. As philosopher Henk Oosterling remarks, in the West, “a room is empty until someone enters.”

However, in the East, space is understood a bit differently. In Japan, spaces have meanings prior to any activity that happens within them. For example, as a space in Japanese culture is understood by how it shapes relationships, the same meeting room in Tokyo would appear full of symbols and instructions about how interactions can and should occur. In this way, a room is always filled with invisible structures, regardless of its occupants.”

Change Your Space – Change Your Life

 

Seasons Greetings

Every room you live and work in affects you.

Most of us are unaware of our interconnection to “designed” spaces.

A home or office is like a mold into which we form ourselves through use. 

Change happens because we slowly adapt to the physical restrictions and features our spaces give us.

Adaptation involves personal change.

Change can be positive or negative as the subtle power of our spaces support or undermine how we experience the activities within them.. 

 

  • Yearning for an enhanced relationship with loved ones and don’t know where to begin?

  • Wanting to create a home sanctuary or optimize an existing space…but don’t have the budget?

  • Working from home in a dysfunctional back room and would like a more supportive home office?

  • Wishing to maximize office morale, sales and productivity… saving thousands in the process?

Lets talk, and may you have a joyful new year.

Terry, ‘SpaceBehavior’ Architect, (aka) Your Living & Working Space ‘Chiropractor’

“Terry’s approach is mind-blowing. He is a genius at creating an arrangement that fits how you want to feel in the space, and how you want people to interact. It’s more astounding than I can describe in words. Everyone I’ve referred him to can’t believe what a big difference it makes in their inner experience of the space.” V. Nelson
“Terry has the best approach to creating a space that you can really live in that I have ever seen. He has worked on both residential space and commercial layout for me. He is beyond creative and really listens to what you are looking for. He always found solutions for us that we couldn’t have possibly thought of ourselves.”  Dr. Ekstrom

THE SPACE EFFECT

How and Why We Become the Spaces We Inhabit

by SpaceTherapy Co-Founder & Prof. of Architecture, Roger Richmond

I highly recommend this free eBook for those interested in a more in-depth look at how our personal and work environments are having a profound impact on behavior.

The concept of designed space influencing human behavior is gaining more significance in architecture educations. Spaces are more than just rooms, large enough for an activity…they may be considered as behavioral settings, where even subtle aspects may have long lasting positive or negative effects on the occupants…

 

IT WORKS LIKE THIS…

We “submit” to any space’s physical, social, psychological, or aesthetic restrictions. This “submission,” over time, impacts behavior as we “adapt” to the “demands” and offerings of the space. The adaptation represents a change in our life experience that may be positive or negative. Every room you live in and work in affects you. Most of us are unaware of our interconnection to “designed” spaces.

At this moment the design of your intimate, social personal or business spaces may be affecting your experience!
