Shared Creation Projects

Something of a departure here. It’s probably not going to be what you expect.

I’d like you to take a look a Yew Tree Farm - a house renovation project; and now I can hear you cry this is Shared Creation - Not Grand Designs! Well that’s true, but this is why I want you take a look at this blog. First of all - whilst not being updated often it is very personal, in the sense that you can see that this is family working on something that is important for them. Alongside this comes another consideration. Over the years we’ve been plagued by home decorating, buying, selling and doing it up shows. They’ve almost become a parody of themselves, but there is one facet that remains true. Architecture and design are a creative process. This is where design and maths come together to create potentially long lasting creations, but not eternal ones - there is always someone with an eye to redecoration, redesign and renovation. Should we consider houses to be metamorphic art. We all expect houses to change - with the whims and needs of their owners. In fact when our friends do something cool to a house we congratulate them - so does this make houses the true peoples art? We all participate in some fashion throughout our lives.

So enjoy Yew Tree Farm - its a good project - and its given me a chance to raise a few points.

And house project means of course that you get purpose to use all the usual technological creative toys that we frequently mention in Shared Creation - its a useful place for filming, photography, writing, blogging and networking about. Working on a house can be a great muse.
