We hear that we need to think "outside the box" to deal with our problems today.
But it's a process -expand your field of view,get out of the box you're in…into the next bigger box.
Bigger Boxes
Expanding Scope of Building Codes and Standards
Minimum requirements to safeguard public health, safety and general welfare
Structural strengthMeans of egressStabilitySanitationAdequate light and ventilationSafety to life and property from fire

Are you working in thedetails or big picture? Past, present or future? Know where you are and constantly shift your focus back and forth.
That's the only way to maintainperspective and proportion –to see both the things and therelationships between them.
