Level up your workspace, level up your brain

In today's fast-paced work environment, it is crucial to have a workplace set up that encourages both modes of thinking - collaboration and individual work. Creating an environment that supports both can lead to increased productivity and innovation. One aspect to consider is the concept of neuroarchitecture, which focuses on designing spaces that enhance cognitive function and well-being. By incorporating elements such as natural light, comfortable seating, and flexible work areas, we can create an environment that promotes focus and creativity for individual work. Collaboration plays an important role in promoting teamwork and encouraging innovation. It's crucial to strike a harmonious balance that allows individuals to work together while minimizing distractions.. Designing collaborative spaces with soundproofing materials or designated meeting rooms can allow for productive discussions while minimizing disruptions for those who need quiet concentration. Technology is essential in supporting both teamwork and individual tasks, enabling smooth collaboration and improved productivity.Providing employees with tools like video conferencing software, project management platforms, and shared document systems enables seamless communication and coordination regardless of physical location. Having the right spaces in the workplace is crucial for enabling our people to excel. By providing an environment that encourages collaboration and focused individual work, we promote productivity and effective teamwork.

linking the design for play therapy to Neuroscience

Image
I have the program, I have the research basing on children, brain and abilities and after having interviews and meeting with the therapists and medical staff I started to formulate the connections between these studies. So, first: what is important in a play therapy? What do we want the children to achieve here? and which behaviors to be supported which to be eliminated or decreased? 1. Free schedule of play therapy, Children are free to choose which activities they want to join *How we can orient them to find/learn their interests? *How a child can feel encouraged to go around and discover him/herself? *How they can remember places? = Wayfinding + Visual connections + Memory 2. Learning and training, Classrooms and library, where children are having the education that they are missing in normal routine. They are not in a healthy condition, maybe they are suffering from a pain, maybe they have concentration difficulty with the medications and treatments they are ...

Design process 2. program

Play therapy refers to children from any age (actually the range is quite wide, from age 2, up till age 25 can visit play therapy) When we have a look at the program sheet from the hospital, although play therapy welcomes all, not all the therapies are open to every age. For example teenagers have more private spaces with their pool table and a tv room 43 inch LCD where they can hang out with their friends outside from hospital. Children  up to 3-4 they stay in the nursery (småbarnsrum) while their parents are waiting in the square, watching their children mostly all day long. Rest of the children are more unlimited between the activities, flowing from one activity to another.To enable them join between the activities, visual connections can be helpful to attract their attention and courage to move around. So I first worked with this chart to determine which spaces can be connected to each other and which spaces can have visual / physical contact...

Inspiration: Houses with verandas - Haus mit Veranden

Image
I had a non-ordinary sight seeing in Vienna... When you go out of the city center, take the metros, trams, a bit souther, where is starts the new developments, you have to the chance to come across some contemporary architecture. Before I went I searched some whether there are some interesting buildings related with children, and Houses with Verandas by Rüdiger Lainer+Partner (2008), was one of the new housing projects, hosting a day-care center in the site. The concept is extending the green areas in the upper floors with verandas, (I rather call balconies)"  the contextual elements offers sunlight and views for each apartment on the different levels and also for the neighbours." About the day care center... As it explained in e-building web site: A children's day-care centre, as well as a large variety of communal outdoor areas with different qualities and types of organisation such as vegetable gardens, lawns to lie upon, sauna at roof level, children's play...
