Coffee Shops, Churchyards & Chairs: A Writer’s Spaces

I’ve been watching a lot of architecture videos for the past few years. The architecture/urbanism rabbit hole on YouTube has dug its claws in me and won’t let go — specifically a professor from Chicago named Stewart Hicks. He’s great. Not that he has claws or anything. As one might expect, these videos ask a lot of questions about space. How do we interact with it? What makes it important? How does it help or hinder us? Or, to consolidate it into a single question: How does where we do what we do make or show us who we are? And the answers are absolutely fascinating. The design of a space can affect how we feel (or don’t feel) ‘at home.’ Or how we might become lost. Or how we do or don’t interact with other people — including strangers and those we’re familiar with. It can overwhelm us with sound, or block our eyes from the outside world, disorient us, guide us, or help us work. <a href="https://writingcooperative.com/coffee-shops-churchyards-chairs-a-writers-spaces-e1c4a5eae5b1">Click Here</a>
