Lesson 1 Workplace Design
Jeremy
Myerson
In brief
Also known as innovative
workplaces
．
As
the knowledge-driven economy of the 21st century
places a premium on
generating new
ideas and intellectual
property
，
the creation of
more-innovative
workplaces in which
fresh thinking can develop and teamwork can
flourish has
become a central
preoccupation for senior managers in many
different types of
organization
．
随着
21
世纪知识经济的溢价产生新的创意和
知识产权，创造更有创意的工
作场所可以开发新思维和团队精神能蓬勃发展，已成为关注
的中心在许多不同
类型的高级管理人员组织。
As a concept, the
“innovative
workplace”
responds to a
growing recognition
within employing
companies that the physical working environment
can have a
profound
effect
on
an
organization
?
s
culture
and
on
the
individual
?
s
performance
．
Successive anthropological studies have
demonstrated a proven connection
between habitat
and human behavior
．
历届人类学研究已经证明了一个成熟的
栖息地和人类行为之间的连接
Today
，
there
is
widespread
acceptance
that
the
traditional
habitat
for
white-collar
work
—
the
modern
office
has
significant
shortcomings
in
terms
of
planning
，
layout
，
facilities
and
aesthetics
．
These
shortcomings prevent organizations and
individuals from working
to
their full
potential in terms of
innovating effectively
．这些缺点，从工作方面的有效创新，
以充分发挥其潜力的组织和个人
..
Designing
offices
to
release
innovation
potential
within
the
organisation
links the
application of a number of design processes
directly to the realization of
organisational
goals
．
These
processes
include
space-planning
，
interior
，
ar
chitectural
，
furniture and
lighting design
．
这些过程包括空间规划，<

室内设计，
建筑，家具和照明设计
Designing
innovative
workplaces
is
not
about
creating
visually
“wacky”
，
attention-grabbing
environments
．
It
is
about
closely
tailoring
the
physical
environment
to
the
requirements
of
developing
new
knowledge
within
the
organisation
．
设计创新的工作场所，是不是创造视觉“古怪”
，引人
注目
密切剪裁的要求开发新的知识在组织内的物理环境。
So
what
are
the
key
issues
at
the
heart
of
this
concept?
inside
any
organisation
，
it
is important to ask searching questions about the
current office
environment---and
look
at
how
physical
and
spatial
improvements
and
the
provision
of different equipment might support innovation
practices
．
Are
long
stretches
of
dark
corridor
and
closed
doors
really
conducive
to
people sharing knowledge
and ideas? Are anonymous meeting rooms booked by
the hour ready the best setting for
project teams to brainstorm and pin up ideas?
Is
a
dowdy
and
cramped
reception
area
really
the
ideal
shop
window
for
potential
collaborators
visiting
your
organisation
for
the
first
time?
Are
linear
rows
of metal desks under fluorescent strip lighting
really enhancing the search
