ABOUT THE COURSE:
Art and Economics provide convincing statistics and initiatives on the benefits of art and design in the workplace for you and your clients. Notable workplace redesigns are tracked using the criteria and rationale behind Well Building Institute standards for art and design. Current sociological studies that test and measure the impact of art and design on occupants' comfort, satisfaction, and overall productivity are emphasized.
Course #: AXOAD101
AIA learning objectives:
- Evaluate economic impacts of design using case studies and new research in workplace design.
- Identify deficiencies of existing open office design as they relate to the formation of healthy and productive environments.
- Analyze the effects of art and design in the workplace on comfort, satisfaction, and productivity.
- Describe forces behind the accelerating trend towards flexible spaces, the design goals in their formation, and the impact on users and business operations.
The Economic Value of Art and Design in the Workspace -
The office is being disrupted; in response, we need a disruptive design!. We’ll use new research from sociology and psychology to examine the failings of existing office spaces, multi-year surveys that highlight users’ needs and frustrations and examine flexible space concepts as a solution. We’ll consider what the Well Building Institute says about art and its effects on the experience of spaces. We’ll also use case studies to show the economic impact that justifies making art a priority in workplace design. Attendees will gain new ideas for workplace design and, importantly, a new way of talking about the value of their services.
