Beau Lotto on seeing yourself see:
Seeing color is one of the simplest things the brain does but even at this simplest level, context is everything. Why is context everything? Because answering that question tells us not only why we see what we do, but who we are as individuals, who we are as a society.
He goes on in an interview with TED to describe how the seeing-yourself-see concept can apply to education and everyday life in an educational program called My School.
The aim of the education program is to create a curriculum in architecture grounded in the idea of seeing yourself see, emphasizing everything that the education system does — what we call the five Cs: compassion, choice, community, creativity and confidence. Seeing yourself see leads to these five Cs.
I like this guy.
