What you said in 7:00 about taking a small object and turning it into a game. I believe game jams are a great exercise for what you mean, they usually have a theme and you need to create a whole game with that theme in a short period of time. For example if a game jam's theme is "Water bottle", you would definitely see dozens if not hundreds of game concepts revolving around a water bottle in different and creative ways.

I've been addicted to your videos lately; you're such an amazing architect and artist. Your comment about viewing a space from both a designer's perspective and a user's perspective reminded me of a school that I used to go to. Our mascot was a hornet, so someone designed the campus to look like a hornet from a birds eye view. The parking lot was one of the wings, so it ended up oddly shaped, difficult to navigate, and with only one exit for the entire student body. It took half an hour for the parking lot to empty out at the end of the day, but at least they were able to hang up some cool photos in the hallways. Another excellent video! I can't wait to see what you'll do next.
