12/11/2020 DESIGN EGO



In lesson today we looked at appraising Pittville Park and we began by digging into our subconscious feelings about the place. Now you can read the sheets I produced but that is not what this blog is about. Rather it is about one of the first new concepts I had to grasp as a first year undergraduate Landscape architecture student- design ego, not everyone will love your designs as you do and that's life. In our first lecture with Jamie he mentioned it and he explained that a design is rubbish if someone has no opinion on it. This exercise reminded me of that because even though I had some negative opinions on it, it was still an opinion. And one day when I am a successful landscape architect, a client will very well possibly say that my design looks like a 'dog's breakfast' and reject the whole proposal. Now another student who hasn't been taught by Jamie may very well become stressed, frustrated, disappointed and upset but I truly hope I feel relief and go back to creating a better design for them. Because after all a negative opinion is better than no opinion.
