Blog
Welcome to the Looper Works Blog, an intellectual platform where I share insights, reflections, and discoveries at the intersection of design, education, and professional development. Authored by me, Seth Looper, and supported by the dedicated team at Looper Works, this blog serves as a repository of scholarly exploration and practical wisdom.
The blog is intended to benefit a diverse audience, including clients, colleagues, and curious readers, by offering thoughtful analyses, reflective narratives, and actionable strategies. Here, I document my journey as an architect, educator, and mentor, addressing critical questions in my practice and exploring innovative approaches to bridging gaps in education, career pathways, and the integration of technology and design.
Through these writings, I aim to engage with the latest trends, share cutting-edge ideas, and provide practical advice that supports continuous intellectual and professional growth. I invite you to join me in exploring meaningful topics that inspire learning, foster creativity, and contribute to the ongoing discourse in these interconnected fields.
The Writing Process as a Sequence of Steps
The writing process must effect a progression from creative, divergent thinking up to precisely controlled prose refinement. Accordingly, we have developed a process that begins with generative writing, moves on to essay assembly and concludes with polishing. This approach provides our clients with a satisfying challenge at each stage, teaches essential writing skills, and helps them better understand what they want to say. This section lays out the writing process as a sequence of cognitive steps: brainstorming, assembling, synthesizing, strengthening and polishing.
