World’s Most Creative Work Environments<\/p>\n
August 25 2008<\/p>\n
“Our environment has a direct impact on our work and on how we feel about our work. From the time you sit down with your Monday-morning latte to the moment you make the mad dash to the elevator late on Friday afternoon, innumerable stimuli affect your every action and reaction.<\/p>\n
Can you gaze out, or better yet, open a window to let in fresh air? Is your concentration broken each time a nearby coworker turns on the external speaker when he answers the phone? Do you spend most of your day away from your workstation? Are the meeting rooms and common areas in your office inviting and inspiring?<\/p>\n
Fortunately, designers have become increasingly ingenious when designing office space, but the ones making the decisions at the top deserve praise as well. We\u2019re noticing more and more collaborations between designers and organizations that unquestionably result in satisfaction throughout the staff.<\/p>\n
The focus of attention has started to shift. As leaders, we expect employees to produce more, better, faster, cooler. But we often spend all our time and energy \u2018evolving our brand,\u2019 and don\u2019t pay much attention to work environments. If we changed the workspace, we\u2019d probably start seeing more of what we want. Creative environments foster and attract creative minds.<\/p>\n
Designers have figured it out \u2014 change the cube, evolve the thinking. Designers collaborate with interior architects and now the focus is on the entire space. How can we use space better? How do we create an interesting working environment? What if we did something really unusual? Like creating workspace inside a giant pipe \u2014 or a series of pipes?<\/p>\n
Designers have now also been paying attention to elevators, stairwells, bathrooms, meeting rooms and other social spaces. These previously ignored and undervalued spaces are becoming an integral part of design strategies \u2014 and not just to look good, but also to function well. By adding colour, neon, digital interiors, irregular shapes and patterns \u2014 cool stuff to look at, to touch, or to sit in or on \u2014 we\u2019ll heighten the senses and draw out creative thinking.” – the cool hunter (Andrew J Wiener)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
