Out of the Box thinking suggests the picture on the right.

A container of conventional wisdom, defining boundaries and responsibilities, and one would suppose offering safe haven.

Perhaps the first thing worth thinking about once outside of the box would be to take a good look at the box from this new perspective and to consider if there is a need to re-structure the box.

 Here is a suggestion for a re-structured box.

Turned upside down it creates a platform that allows for a view of other boxes in a community. Then with a railing around the perimeter of the box as a container, it loses nothing of its necessary value.

This now affords a sensory awareness of other boxes in the vicinity and gives the networking dynamics of a community relevancy.
