Strategy: How Will Your Building Look As New Perspectives Emerge?

by Maria Lorena Lehman

Image Strategies

Featured Image Takeaway Design Strategy:

As buildings get taller and taller, they are unveiling new perspectives. Different vantage points that you create for you occupants make a difference in how they not only perceive their environment, but also in how they function within it. With nanotechnology developments that improve our ability to build upward, you as an architect may need to rethink what it means to create a vertical community (or building culture) for the future. Strategizing about how vertical structures can uplift occupant lifestyle in unique ways is a great place to start thinking about high-rise building design evolution.

To Apply This Strategy, Ask Yourself:

HOW MIGHT I REFRAME HIGH-RISE BUILDING PROGRAMMING AND DESIGN TO LEVERAGE WHAT BUILDING COMMUNITY AND CULTURE CAN DO FOR BOTH ITS OCCUPANTS AND NEIGHBORING URBAN DWELLERS?

Continue the Conversation

If this essay stirred a question, illuminated an idea, or touched something deeper in your own creative journey, I invite you to continue the conversation.

Each month, I reserve a small number of private one-on-one conversations for readers seeking thoughtful guidance and deeper dialogue around creativity, architecture, music, meaning, purpose, or the work they feel called to bring into the world.

These are not coaching sessions, business consultations, or productivity workshops. They are dedicated spaces for reflection, creative guidance, intellectual exploration, and discerning what comes next.

People often bring:

• A creative project or new venture

• Questions of purpose and calling

• Architecture, art, music, or writing pursuits

• Career transitions and life crossroads

• Ideas they wish to develop more deeply

• Simply a desire for meaningful conversation

Whether you are an artist, designer, architect, composer, writer, educator, founder, or lifelong learner, our conversation will be shaped around what matters most to you.

A thoughtful exchange of ideas, questions, and possibilities.

Limited availability each month.
