I’m Clark Sept

Throughout the past four-plus decades as an architect and a strategist I’ve become increasingly interested in what brings people together and how they experience space. These ideas span a broad range of topics which relate to how we feel and how we relate to one another in the spaces we encounter.

I’ve created this online space as a sort of public notebook. For a few years I’ve been thinking about a sequel to The Emergent Workplace, (c) 2013 Paul Heath and Clark Sept. This good space notebook is where I’m sharing content which will maybe make it into that sequel. I invite you to explore with me, and I’d love to hear your comments and suggestions.

Along the way I’ll have collaborators, who I’ll introduce here when the time is right.

Meanwhile, may the space you experience each day be good space.
