Look to many sources for design inspiration. Teachers and students, as well as architects and designers, have ideas about their ideal learning environment.

As a graphic designer who has worked in the architecture industry with OWP/P and Bruce Mau Design, the first point in the book, "Everyone Can Be a Designer" is a touchy one.
I am on the board of AIGA Chicago and at this month’s board meeting we brainstormed ideas on how to get high-level graphic design studio heads to attend a breakfast with a relevant speaker to touch on design in all shapes and sizes in today's world. After sending out a few ideas to our Advisory Board we came up with nada.
Instead of a person as the central theme to our ill-fated breakfast, a design topic rose to the top of the list. This topic was a discussion about how to successfully integrate graphic design, pr, advertising, marketing, social-media, twittering, branding and web consulting into profitable future opportunities. Well, if anyone were able to answer that calling they would win the game. Game Over, future design challenge won.
I believe that the future of design; architecture, furniture, teaching and learning is going to evolve into a combination of all of the above ingredients. Social-media, like branding is for graphic design, and like sustainability is for architecture, is a new design umbrella.
So, back to the original point; “Everyone can be a designer.” Yes, this is true, but how you stir the ingredients together into a clear, beautiful and memorable social-media campaign, that schools, Advisory Boards and the general public can relate to and trust...these campaigns will win the game. And yes, it is a game that we are thinking about, collaborating on, and sitting in front of our computer screens everyday to ultimately win a better world for our children to grown up in. This book is a great example of the beginnings of that discussion.
I think that teacher and architects have a great design about what they doing when they design things u have to know what u doing before do things and as a teacher i know they know what they doing all teacher have a plaqn book on what they gone do this day and the next day. I feel that everyone can be an design if they put they mine and it and thats what thay won't to do, cause it a lot of people and my community and school that can be a desinger if they put they mine to it cause I know one person thats a real good artites and i know a gurl that know how to design clothes real good. So i think everyone could be what they put they mine to and just do ut.
Thanks for the comment, Monae. You are right that teachers, architects, clothing designers, students, administrators, facility managers--all of us--have inherent design abilities. We just need to let these abilities shine!
