The Phenomenon of Creativity

By Andrea Dill, Aspen Group Project Developer Assistant

According to Wikipedia, creativity is the phenomenon whereby a person creates something new (a product, solution, work of art, etc.) that has some kind of value. We have seen this very phenomenon proven true when creating a design that is aligned with a church’s ministry.

The value that comes from having a facility design that reflects and aligns with the culture, leadership, and ministry of the church is powerful.  It allows the facility to enhance ministry.

We have captured a few napkin sketches…those simple designs sketched by an architect in a “light bulb moment.”  Many quick napkin sketches have turned out to be the “big idea” for a project or have provided inspiration as the design came to life.

What are some ways you or your team foster creativity? Let us know in the comments section.

Be on the lookout for the newest Aspen Group Napkin Sketches on our Facebook page.
