In social architecture we imagine that elders, patrons, leaders and those who function at the broader cultural level have a special opportunity also to shape their cultures and the quality of their lives day to day.. Social architecture is a planet-wide practice and can involve some very unique skills. Some of you may practice daily in a dedicated and comprehensive manner and receive a professional rate. Some may simply choose to use the principles that are illiuminated along this website journey in a more more general way as a service to those around them. You may choose how to proceed.
Parts of this formative practice have been a subtle part of leadership for centuries. Only now, when we can see that cultures can be dashed about so mindlessly with the planet-wide explosion of multiple influences, do we really need to understand and better effect how things are shaped at a grander scale.
The following defining intentions are the beginning of building the practice called social architecture and constitute a unique knowledge-base with attendant skill-based educational objectives. Should you continue through this journey you will eventually be able to submit social inventions of your own design to be included in our on-line 3D museum called the Archives of Arcturus. Here are the bones of this practice:
