    Wissen, Medien und Design entfalten gemeinsam eine sozio-technische Dynamik, die das neue Forschungs- und Praxisfeld des Knowledge Media Designs (KMD) begründet. Hier treffen sich theoretische, gestalterische und technische Fächer, die neue Methoden und Forschungsformate entsprechend ihren erweiterten Wirkungsmöglichkeiten entwickeln. Unter dem Aspekt der Gestaltung werden in der Wissenskommunikation bisher vernachlässigte Aspekte behandelbar, die vor allem in der Behandlung von Nicht-Wissen wirksam werden.

    "An Activity Based Workplace (ABW) is all about choice. The planning and design of an ABW includes a menu of spaces to support different workplace activities rather than forcing people to do everything at the one desk. An ABW can increase desk utilisation by not assigning desks to individuals. People can physically locate themselves wherever it is most appropriate for them to undertake their work. If quiet concentrative work is necessary then a 'focus' room or semi enclosed area can be utilised; if an informal discussion is required people can use a range of unbookable rooms; if an ad hoc presentation is required there can be small rooms equipped with screens and audio visual equipment; meeting rooms of all sizes can house the latest technologies; and typically there are central hubs on each floor accessible to all. This is all over and above traditional desk and meeting room set ups - the possibilities and opportunities for ABW are limitless. The menu of spaces typically range from open to closed, individual to collaborative, quiet to vibrant, bright to subdued. And usually there is a fairly even balance of space dedicated to communication and meetings as there is dedicated to workstations themselves."

Do Collaborative Workspaces Work? | Psychology Today - 4 views

  • it’s very easy to organize a space in such a way that it draws a crowd, but sometimes a crowded space is the last thing you need to complete the task at hand.  Sometimes we need sole occupation of our space.  Good workspaces need to have affordances that allow solitary workers to complete a task without disturbance.
  • human beings are complicated social and territorial animals; even if we place them into an open and level playing field, they will self-organize, self-group, and vie for favored places.  Good office designs need to take such matters into account and not treat employees like autonomous widgets (albeit wildly creative ones) who will simply disperse into a space randomly like avatars in an elaborate video game.
  • We are living and breathing animals who feel emotions, get hungry, need privacy, and are prone to lapses of attention when distracted.  This part of the office space equation cannot be neglected.

Home Sweet Office: Comfort in the Workplace - Research - Herman Miller - 0 views

  • Jacqueline Vischer, professor, department of environmental design, University of Montreal, has created a model that ranks comfort into an ascending continuum of physical, functional, and psychological comfort, which roughly parallels the Kolcaba model of relief, ease, and renewal.
  • Various aspects of physical comfort, such as temperature, lighting, acoustics, and ergonomics, have been researched extensively over the years, so standards for those areas affecting health and safety are fairly well defined.
  • “There is no one temperature and humidity level at which everyone is comfortable.” *10
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • Clearly, many workers would be more comfortable if they had some control over their immediate environment—if they could adjust the heat or turn on a task light, for example. But “very few buildings or workstations enable occupants to control lighting, temperature, ventilation rates, or noise conditions.
  • functional comfort, wherein the work environment becomes a tool that enables and supports individual work and collaborative teams. “There are fewer standards and practices to ensure functional comfort than there are for physical comfort,”
  • In Herman Miller’s survey of 500 workers, four out of five attributes that were consistent predictors of a “high comfort” workstation related directly to functional comfort: The capability to support space for two or more people to meet The capability to control interaction with those around me The option to place the computer in the most suitable location Having a place to store my personal items
  • While physical and functional comfort are linked to productivity, psychological comfort relates to uniquely human needs, such as the ability to control elements of one’s job, to personalize one’s space, to set boundaries, and to connect with nature or beauty. While psychological comfort is difficult to quantify, it addresses some intensely human drives.
  • Control, for example, is related to higher levels of job satisfaction and psychological comfort.
  • In the office, territoriality operates in at least two ways: in the attempt to control visual, auditory, or physical interruptions and in the nearly universal urge to personalize one’s space.
  • Interruption is perceived as an invasion of personal space, and the inability to control it produces frustration and territorial behavior, which can range from complaining about confidentiality to erecting blockades.
  • Territoriality also concerns the human need for self-expression.
  • “People who are informed about workspace-related decisions, and who participate in decisions about their own space, are more likely to feel territorial about their workspace and to have feelings of belonging and ownership.” *22
  • the effect of beauty—the aesthetic element of a work environment—may be the most unquantifiable contributor to psychological comfort in the workplace.
  • The beneficial effect of natural light on health is so compelling that European Union directives on workplace health and safety state that “workplaces must as far as possible receive sufficient natural light...”
  • A growing body of research shows that building environments that connect people to nature are more supportive of human emotional well- being and cognitive performance than environments lacking these features,” writes Heerwagen.
