Allow me to share with you a true story about a workshop I was in recently. Perhaps something like what I describe in the following happens to you as you listen to a speaker in a workshop:\u00a0<\/p>\n
The title of the workshop was \u201cArchitecture Always Wins<\/span>,<\/strong>\u201d and the leader of the workshop went on to suggest many reasons why he believed we are significantly shaped by our surroundings. As the workshop continued to unfold,\u00a0I found myself continuing to nod in agreement and believe him more and more.<\/p>\n However, I started to drift off just a little bit and think about our school and how we learn, and how the designs of our buildings and our structures have an impact on how our students learn.\u00a0<\/p>\n And then I began to realize the societal impact that architects have on our world.\u00a0<\/p>\n And then I wondered if I should have studied to be an architect<\/strong><\/span>\u2014the effect that architects have on our world is profound!\u00a0And if my goal was to make a difference in this world, maybe I should have chosen architecture…<\/p>\n But then I refocused my thoughts to think about the future of ACS and that there are discussions happening about \u201credesigning\u201d and renovating the secondary campus right now…and I started to get excited about what could be.\u00a0<\/p>\n I tuned back in to what the workshop leader was saying…actually not really. He was kind of boring compared to my dreaming….What could the ACS secondary campus really\u00a0look like?<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n In the end, the speaker was quite convincing…architecture always wins<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0I was left with a few questions to ponder on my way home….\u00a0Does the architecture in my life win? Are we creatures that are fully affected by our surroundings, or can we be who God intended us to be regardless of the designs and structures around us?<\/p>\n What do you think?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Allow me to share with you a true story about a workshop I was in recently.
