Understanding the thought/speech process of the Architecture Student
Over the course of four months, things have changed drastically. I've gone from an average-thinking Joe, to an endless thought bubble of ideas.
Here is an example of what happens:
It could just be me...
The architecture student will be talking to someone about any particular subject. Suddenly an idea or an image pops into their mind based on a word or phrase that they or their colleague may have mentioned.
Now stopping mid-sentence, the architecture student is unaware of their surroundings.
The question I want you, dear reader, to think about is "Why does this happen?"
Is it because of the sleep deprivation and now they're day dreaming?
Is it because of the caffeine and now they're ADHD?
Think about it for a moment before continuing...
Here is the reason some Architecture Students will "space out" on you mid-sentence:
After working hours on end and forced to constantly produce adequate conceptions for new projects, the mind is now forced into a new habit (which only takes 7 days to be formed).
This habit is not a bad one, although rude and a social abnormality. This habit is to continually conceptualize.
In simpler terms-- since I may be suffering from the same delusion-- is that the brain is now accustomed to creation or just losing itself in the subconscious world so it can explore and create in an infinite loop.
To explain that further, let's pretend that someone said the word "Baby Carriage". Now, try to follow along as this thought-train leaves the station of the student's mind.
Baby --> Carriage --> Stroller --> Wheels --> Seat --> Chair --> Room --> Baby's Room --> Wallpaper... etc.
And then it goes into more detail, but the idea should be simple to see now. The original thought affects the beginning and end of this thought cycle.
This is only an excerpt of the psychology of the Architecture student-- or ANYONE who's designing constantly. Even book authors do this. However, the main point was to understand where your Architecting friend or relative's mind floats away to when you're in middle of a conversation.
Thanks for sticking around, dear reader.
