6.4 Challenges for Universities- Opportunities for forming a brand
Design & Management of Learning Environments 2018 • 33m
With Christine Kohlert, RBSGROUP EU
Learning Establishments today are looking for ways to spur the kind of creative thinking that leads staff and students to generate innovative ideas. Many are finding that the physical spaces in which people work and learn can provide a strong impetus to follow a creative train of thought.
Christine has recently co-authored Space for Creative Thinking which puts this trend into the knowledge-work context, discussing the underlying design concepts that factor into making a space that stimulates original thinking. The book follows this outline of theory with twenty compelling examples, which range from offices and schools to research facilities. Each case study is presented through photographs, as well as interviews with both designers and users. It concludes with a brief set of guiding principles for designing spaces that capture the essence of a Creative Thinking Space.
