ARCH: Interpersonal Interactions, Collaborative Projects, and Creative Life
An Ecological Metaphor called “ARCH”
Yesterday I published an article titled The ECHO Way: Waterfall, Bridge, and Creative Life.
The article is part of the Creative Dialogue project which aims to introduce “Creative Dialogue” as a new Unit of Analysis to Creative Life Theory by curating relevant frameworks and articles.
From 2022 to 2023, I worked on developing the Creative Life Curation project and the Knowledge Engagement project. The outcome is a new theoretical approach to knowledge creators’ life course: Creative Life Theory.
In the book (draft) titled Creative Life Curation, I developed Creative Life Theory (v1.0) which considers the following five units of analysis.
1. Creative Actions
2. Creative Projects
3. Creative Journey
4. Creative Landscape
5. Creative Lifescope
The framework also highlights the following three types of “Curativity”:
- Curativity 1: Turning pieces of Projects into a Journey as a meaningful whole
- Curativity 2: Turning pieces of Projects into a Landscape as a meaningful whole
