Strategy: Preserve Design Quality From All Perspectives

by Maria Lorena Lehman

Image Strategies

Architecture Drawing

Featured Image Takeaway Design Strategy:

Make an architectural gesture as you approach a solution for your design problem. Peak curiosity and invite people to approach and behold. Your architectural work will be viewed from various vantage points. Is each of them authentic to your initial architectural vision and intent? Don’t let the quality of your design degrade for your occupants as they move about the building, whether inside or outside. Preserve its integrity throughout.

To Apply This Strategy, Ask Yourself:

AM I SEEING THIS PROJECT FROM ALL SIDES, IN AS MANY DIMENSIONS AS POSSIBLE, AND FROM VARIOUS POTENTIAL OCCUPANT NEEDS?

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.
