Evidence-Based Design for Creative Interior Spaces

Evidence-Based Design for Creative Interior Spaces

“Thank you so much for taking part in this course and I hope you've enjoyed it. The time has come for you to apply what you've learned to the reimagining of your own creative space. This could mean finishing the space you started by completing the course tasks or making a brand-new project! Either way, I strongly suggest you take the time to gather inspiration and make a unique project of your own. Make sure to keep track of your progress with different pictures of each step. It'd be great if you could also explain the choices you've made along the way and tell us if you have any doubts. This will help me guide you better if you need advice. Here are the main steps to follow: Which Space Will You Reimagine? As I outlined earlier, you can locate your course project in your home or place of business. You can choose to either remodel an existing work area or create a completely new one inside a space that you can alter or convert, such as a storage closet, attic, garage, or bedroom. Appearance-based Design Triggers Assess the color palette in your space. Can you envision using an alternative color scheme? Think about the ceiling height and study options for accessing views.

The Furnishings Evaluate the furnishings you currently use in your creative space—are they consistent (with respect to posture, shape, orientation, and arrangement) with the precepts of creativity-driven design? What can you do to nudge them closer to a creativity-stimulating environment? Biophilic Design Do you see opportunities to expand the number of nature-based inputs in your space? Refer to your visual library of biophilic design features and consider how you can make use of these. Ambience and Action-based Design Triggers Review your existing lighting fixtures and controls—do they allow the space to be dimmed to the level designated for peak idea generation? Consider adding noise-generating equipment to your workstation or setting. Determine which action-based primes can be accommodated within or in close proximity to your space, and incorporate them! And that's all! I can't wait to see what you've come up with. You can share your work with us so by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to them. It would be great if you showed a picture of each step and added a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. I will be more than happy to answer any of the questions you might have along the way! I will try to get back to you as soon as possible. In the meantime, participate in the forum, comment on others' work, and interact with the community. See you there!”

“ Final Project Congratulations on reaching the final stage of this course. Let's recap what we've covered so far. We began by looking at some of the principal contributors to the field of design psychology. We then explored the meaning of the term creativity, the different frameworks through which we can explore the relationship between creativity and the built environment, and how science came to discover the unseen influence our physical surroundings exert on our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We then reviewed the effects such appearance-based primes as color, ceiling height, views, ...”
