In this comprehensive post, architectural writer Louis Postel questions the generous permission needed for creative discovery during times of crisis. An excerpt:

“That said, there are any number of cultural dikes and levees warding off such storms of creativity. Leski feels such storms make the difference between ‘mindless production’ in architecture and ‘something new and meaningful, open to that bolt of lightning.’ In her view, creative solutions to increasingly complex problems can hardly be taken for granted in 2017.

So, what specifically, in my view, are some of the dikes and levees that prevent us from welcoming the creative storm into our studios?”
