 LITTLE BIG HOUSE was first conceived in 1968. while I was teaching at Cal. Poly'  in San Luis Obispo, I was asked to act as a client for a architecture design class.  The students asked me many questions about my needs all of which were practical concerns. When they were done I said most of all I want a house that has a sense of humor about it.  They were flabbergasted.   After a few minutes, one student spoke up saying, can you give us an example?  I turned and drew little big house on the blackboard, they said nothing until I drew in the small out scale figure, then they cracked up.  The idea stayed with me.

My painting at that time was minimal and primary and I was interested in the Jungian  archetype. Little big house is an archetypal image.  Ask  Young American students to draw a house and you will get some variation of this image.

Actually, there are several stages of image development.  As an art teacher I have studied this, I don't know what American prairie Indians of the 1850's would draw, but I can make  a good guess. It would probably be some variation of a triangle. So I guess the image is not an archetype in the true Jungian terms, but more like a visual meme. You can tell a lot about a company by its mission statement. Don’t have one? Now might be a good time to create one and post it here. A good mission statement tells you what drives a company to do what it does.

Company policies – Are there company policies that are particularly important to your business? Perhaps your unlimited paternity/maternity leave policy has endeared you to employees across the company. This is a good place to talk about that.

Executive profiles – A company is only as strong as its executive leadership. This is a good place to show off who’s occupying the corner offices. Write a nice bio about each executive that includes what they do, how long they’ve been at it, and what got them to where they are.
