Positive_cultivation




"It is an important element of any animals (human or otherwise) upbringing that they be exposed to novel stimuli right from the start. Exploration of new things helps them build a picture of the world around them, increase knowledge and develop awareness of safe boundaries and interactions. In this particular post I focus on introducing children to animals. I think it is critical for children to meet as many weird and wonderful creatures from as young as is safe to do so, but it must be in a positive way; not screaming at spiders in the bath or referring to certain animals as gross or scary, especially if the child seems naturally fearful, on that same note it is important not to force them to engage with something they show signs of reacting badly to, just calmly walk away and try again another time, habituating to a fear provoking stimulus by calm, regular exposure rather than flooding by forcing them into a situation or using bullying tactics."......continued

What is “Architecture”?

What is “Architecture”? Think of Ernő Rubik and his invention of  the “Rubik’s Cube” (a ‘spherical device with hollow core and an  arrangement of interlocking projections on the back of the cubes,  too cunning to describe with words. A single central cube on each  face fixed to a three-axis cross locked everything together, but, like  wheels on an axle, the cubes were free to rotate in a single plane.’)  which he developed as an exercise in the manipulation of space  and volumes, which might, he hoped, engage the minds of his architecture  students. Or, think of it as a musical instrument such as a “violin”, for example;  a multi purpose/functional object/device. By this I mean; a  sculptural object with aesthetic qualities + functional as it inspires  interaction which stimulates the dexterity of your brain and the surrounding  environment with vibration (sound).
