Masters Theses

该项目设想将上海一个历史悠久的仓库改造成一个创新的、以情感为主题的联合办公空间,超越传统的办公环境。在工作环境质量深刻影响生产力和幸福感的时代,该项目旨在创造一个协调身体、心理和情绪健康的空间。该设计融合了促进健康的元素,例如健身设施、美食和丰富的绿色植物,确保居住者在整个工作日中保持动力和灵感。该项目涉及个人与其环境之间的动态互动。认识到传统的办公室布局往往会限制移动和空间感知,我们的设计引入了一个固有的动态工作空间。灵活的布局,可调节的家具和可移动的隔板使空间能够适应各种活动和需求。互动元素和视觉刺激全天变化,鼓励探索和互动,而不需要持续的身体运动。使用不同的纹理、颜色和照明方案创造了一种多感官体验,使空间充满活力和不断变化的感觉。通过结合这些元素,该项目旨在重新定义现代工作空间,创造一个不仅能提高生产力,而且能丰富人类工作体验的环境。这种创新方法旨在为全球联合办公空间设定新标准,培养社区意识、创造力和幸福感。最终,该项目旨在创造一个开创性的环境,增强人类的工作体验,展示工作空间设计在广泛影响和改善情绪和心理健康方面的潜力。

Aguaaaa!!!, Cory Villegas

Theses and Dissertations

The paper uses English and Spanish, written, visual, and oral materials with an accompanying webpage.
