I really liked that piece you wrote about learning styles and creativity...the naturist, that's what I believe you called a person who is energized by going outside. And yes, if high ceilings invoke creativity, then under the unlimited sky should be the best place to create. Hi Robyn,

That’s funny that you say you go outside. I really liked that piece you wrote about learning styles and creativity…the naturist, that’s what I believe you called a person who is energized by going outside. And yes, if high ceilings invoke creativity, then under the unlimited sky should be the best place to create.

It takes quite the person to make a tome structured around the word horeshit sound eloquent. Bill I love when people are articulate and eloquent in making their point regardless of the tone.

Who would have considered that the height of a roof can make the difference. On the other hand, I find that I'm very creative when I go outside and the roof is ever changing! :-) Frank, I loved this concept.

I try to remember that daily.

LOL. I do like the limitation of the pueblo...You make good points, and I don't think that all creativity comes from people with high ceilings, otherwise we'd all work outside...or in the naves of gothic churches. I do, however, believe in feng shui and the "feel" of some places. Creativity bubbles. BTW; That's a very creative counterpoint, much more clever than "Jane, you ignorant slut," which I understand was written in a small, cramped office at SNL. I don't think you need a tall ceiling to be creative...so point made! Biil, did you “sneeze” when you said “horseshit”? LOL.

Did the cave gal who invented fire have a cave with a high roof? Does a U-boat commander who outsmarts lend lease convoys and their escorts have a really tall U-boat? Did Michaelangelo have to climb down the scaffolding to think about what God looked like creating man and then climb back up to merely execute? Is it the high ceiling or the low floor? Did Steve Jobs, Bill Hewlett and Bill Gates have garages with really tall ceilings? Would early Native Americans have created "American Idol" before Simon if pueblos weren't just so damn short. Horseshit - it's a wonderful word. This is one of those reports (not posting – report) that makes me happy that one of my favorite words is “horseshit”.

There's a pretty cool book called "How Buildings Learn" http://www.amazon.com/How-Buildings-Learn-Happens-Theyre/dp/0140139966 that talks a little more about how space/buildings can affect what we do.
