Spaces for Innovation

The conversation around the impact of the physical environment on workplace behaviour has grown over the past few years. This has been aided by the changing nature of the way we work and the increasing importance of creativity in many industries. This book explains the relationship between the physical design of working environments and levels of creativity and innovation. Based on the available evidence, Innovative Spaces identifies the physical characteristics of workspaces that are associated with high innovation potential and determine why they have an effect. A basic framework for the design of innovative environments, a pattern language and a practical tool in this book, can be used in analysing ways to enhance physical space in the pursuit of innovation. The book is a pattern guide, providing context, examples, inspiration and direction to help you explore and understand your organisational challenges.
