Space has always been the spiritual dimension of architecture. It is not the physical statement of the structure so much as what it contains that moves us.
~ Arthur Erickson

I think I might have liked to be an architect. I never really thought about doing that. But maybe I am an architect of people and experiences rather than of buildings. Maybe - since I teach - I help build competence and character and an ability to navigate the world.
Of course there is still independent action and thought on the part of those with whom I work, study and from whom I learn, but maybe I help build them in some small way. At least build their confidence and provide them energy - help them make connections and put pieces together. I may help build the professionals of the future, maybe.
Like Dr. Frankenstein.
On a loosely related note, I should change my last name to Frankenstein.
