- 47. Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context – a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, an environment in a city plan. — Eliel Saarinen, Architect Design Does Matters Israeli Designers Matter Even More!

- 61. 2. Food FUEL OR FUN?
- 65. Here is a great example of ethos and nomics coming together…. For the 20,000 employees who work at Google, “food is deeply entwined with the company culture and identity.” There is no generic bulk food in its cafes, of which there are 17 for the 4,000 workers at the Mountain View headquarters campus. Employees are more productive when they eat healthy organic foods.. It makes good business sense!!! Google supports local farming, organic produce, hormone-free meats and healthful eating:
- 69. Today…Tomorrow
- 70. 3. Exercise RARITY OR ROUTINE?
- 72. How much exercise are you getting? Why did you not leave the office for lunch today?
- 73. 4. City Planning GREEN OR GREY? Today’s urban planners and architects are deeply concerned with the interface between artificial and natural and how things can co- exists. The goal: a more robust urban environment incorporating: - efficient public transit, - walk-able neighborhoods, - parks, trails and other amenities OUTDOOR RECREATION
- 75. Building healthy Cities--- for PEOPLE Urban Planning = Workplace Design Green City Index
- 76. Renewable Energy Cities in the Middle East, are let down by their lack of renewable energy solutions. All the Middle Eastern entrants use virtually no renewable energy, unsurprisingly given their abundance of hydrocarbon fuels, even if in recent years moves towards renewables have started to progress. Natural Disasters At the top are various European and Middle Eastern cities, including London, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Doha, which have no record of experiencing any of these disasters on a sufficiently damaging scale. Many cities score above 90% for air pollution, which the World Health Organization measures in terms of particulate matter. Losing out on this metric are some Middle Eastern cities (Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Doha) and Nairobi, although for the Middle East cities, the prevalence of sandstorms does play a part. Middle East

- 87. This sustainable approach to city planning is mirrored by current trends in architecture and interior design. Designers are rethinking all types of spaces, including work settings that are more interesting, inspiring and health- giving.
- 88. RECAP We are rethinking who we are. Our choices matter and we want the story behind the story We are more conscious of what we eat and where things are made Activity is essential to our on going health We are redefining active and trying to move more Rethinking where we live, …..Our cities… and what makes a livable city today And lastly we starting to think about where we work ….the next frontier and that’s where the trend is taking us
- 89. 5. The Healthy Workplace IDEAL OR IDEALISTIC?
- 90. 5. The Healthy Workplace IDEAL OR IDEALISTIC? …and Happy Workplace!!!! How we are living our lives? Knowledge: Sustainability & LEED Programs
- 93. “allow employees to pick their experience” Old formula assumptions wrong (in the office everyday, in our office the majority of the day , focused / alone work is our primary function) Areas of work are no longer just a office or a meeting room with a square table and 6 chairs The areas outside of our “office” are growing to meet the real work flows A healthy work environment is no longer a uniform monolithic office.. offices are designed for employees to pick their experience
- 100. 2
- 102. Most of the discussions we are having and the most interesting planning is taking place in the areas designed to collaborate , socialize or relax. The balance has shifted
- 103. “shut out the distractions” • The open plan has been a great enabler – allowing us to pick our path over the course of the day. However it has lead to an environment where we are easily distracted • Intelligent planning can control one of the biggest weakness to the open plan : distraction • Distraction cause stress , error and fatigue • Interior architecture plays a huge role with acoustic ceilings , carpet window treatments and often white noise • We need to withdraw as much as we bring people together in our spaces Open Space = NOISE
- 104. 57% of interruptions at work are digital
- 105. to get to deep, meaningful thought average span between interruptions average span between interruptions with social media or texting to re-orient, and try and focus again 15 7 2 25
- 108. Tech Detox Camps
- 110. work alone , collaborate, work alone together – access to all … informal spaces , formal spaces – EACH SETTING HAS ITS OWN LEVEL OF ACCESSIBILITY
- 115. Creating an environment that promotes movement and activity throughout the day
- 116. • An active office is designed to encourage movement within an office and across a floor plate • Creating activity based or context floor plates encourage movement • Minimize the amount of time we spend sitting • Alternate our physical and mental positions as much as possible • The ability to change ones posture has significant physiological benefits but also provides a sense of control and empowerment conducive to worker engagement and satisfaction Sitting has become the smoking of our generation!
- 120. how the workplace can enable the physical and mental vitality that’s needed to learn, create and innovate
- 121. University of Waterloo Dr. Jack Callaghan
- 122. ?
- 123. 3:1MAX PRODUCTIVITY How we should stand .. .3:1 does not mean sit for 3 hours and stand for 1
- 125. Activity Based Design do not cluster resources (photocopiers, food services, etc), create opportunities to change postures, furniture that moves and modifies. Proper balance, choice, color promote movement ---- active stairways, views in active spaces, variety of spaces, “pick your experience”
- 129. • As human beings, we evolved and adapted to natural stimuli such as sunlight, weather, plants, animals and landscapes, which remain essential contexts for our functioning, health and survival. indoor Bring elements of nature into the office (e.g. a “green” wall, indoor garden) • A rich material and color palette stimulates a work environment • Provide an abundance of natural light and views (ideally, views of nature) • Program buildings to allow access to the out of doors What’s around us does make a difference- We need to be stimulated.
- 132. studies confirm a direct link between the amount of natural light in a workplace and levels of employee well- being
- 134. human beings have a biologically- based need to affiliate with nature
- 139. In Costa Rica
- 142. variety of collaborative spaces, occupancy, formality, analog vs digital, training versus mentoring, versus team, versus one on one
- 146. Community Table Simple Custom wood or laminate You essentially decide height, width and buy by the foot!
- 149. As the world continues to urbanize and more people work longer hours indoors, often at a computer, it becomes ever more important to employ design to reduce stress, enhance creativity and improve mental and physical health. We need design that connects us with nature, that supports our biological need to move and our emotional need to occasionall withdraw to think or rest as much as we need the means to draw people together and connect their working thoughts and ideas.

- Good afternoon venue / #people / the overall caliber – progression and momentum… Pleasure - Brand, Product and Sales Support Tools. Before I do that, - share personal reflections around My Teknion.
- The following is a condensed hi level overview of Ethonomics. We see a new trend beginning to take full shape . An extension of sustainability ….we refer to internally as Ethonomics Its evolved today to be more about individuals…. more about humans….and the effect that humans have on the work environment We want to discuss workplace happiness with you today, we have worked with outside experts The paper, a collaboration with leading experts in the design community such as Joan Blumenfeld, global interior designer of Perkins + Will Suzanne Tick , founder of Suzanne Tick Inc……..creative director of teknion textiles Jack Callaghan - .University of Waterloo the first scientific study on sitting vs. standing guidelines, 2 our book was even featured in Fast Companies #The New Rules of Work … we are even going to try the impossible and that is to boil workplace happiness into a formula.. And this will hopefully create some good industry dialogue ……

- Photography is another key element of brand expression Studio to Location photography – cost create different environments – Modern, Traditional, Tech Different temperature through finish pallets. The goal “ I can see myself in that environment” .
- Modern spaces 2014 - U of North Carolina Nanotechnology building… in 2015 we used the Andrew Richards Design studio Important to have Architectural simplicity. Clean slate interior Requires quiet elegance from the furniture
- In 2015 modern space we tried to accomplish the following… More punch , more vibrant uses of colors More earthy tones Chance to be more residential in a modern space – rugs , lighting etc Black framed Altos Wood tables with painted legs (not aluminum or chrome) Dark painted glass tables Mix and match seating
- Tech touchdown .. In 2014 we used the Cisco Mills warehouse in Greensboro , North Carolina. In 2015 we used the fermenting cellar at the Distillery District of Toronto Strong architectural presence - not built from scratch Circulation of people and activity throughout the day
- Vibrant use of colors captures the lively spirit of work
- Use of more formal attire
- next example – value on People all many examples. 12 years - consolidate two steel divisions Stampco and Tekroll into what is now StampTek. Prior to Teknion - 3 businesses into one. Object - fast and maximize savings / reasonable to me… Early stage – told - least disruption to the people. - #1 criteria
- Starting with our Brand Evolution… David just shared his story of our Brand evolution. my perspective. start by affirming – David takes Brand very seriously & values very much You saw this in his presentation. he invest - time and financial resources into Brand. A few years about it was clear things weren’t sitting right with David. changes in the world of work, changes with our competitors and changes with ourselves - the dissonance continued to build. 2014 after a successful NeoCon - New York Cab – David clearly said – it was time… position of strength, rather than wait. The goal not make a complete break from the past – rather continue to build on the strength of the Brand built to date. new brand consistently around the globe. focus comprehensive Teknion brand first, with the sub brands following right behind… trigger for the exciting brand journey which I’ll recap some key elements…
- The Upstage innovation… New Steering, specifically with Roger and Dave brought some good focus to making this a very impactful launch
- Late last year – District enhanced with the … Inset Glass Blade Extended Fascias
- A good example of steering process goes back to the strong market need for the ‘free standing panel’. Decision was not to develop a new platform – rather to quickly solve with District. The feeling was there was something more with this need. – team pushed beyond… This push resulted in…
- Innovation bourne out of the Apple project & creative collaboration with a Client with a planned launch for this summer. Tek Pier is all about technology engagement on a height adjustable workstation with a minimal aesthetic. And a great bundle play with our walls… This June

- The following is a condensed hi level overview of Ethonomics. We see a new trend beginning to take full shape .

- Initially we were calling this project … Paper versus Plastic : The question that arose in the 80’s at the grocery checkout line.. ….“would you like Paper or plastic” sums up a future direction (a tipping point) and new conscious to materials and life. Although this transition in our daily shopping was a small shift in consciousness, looking back at it was a symbol of a new direction. We started to think about the consequences of our actions A shift from the prefab, preformed, chemical world to a new viewing of an entire ecosystem.
- So why the title ethonomics ……The word Wellness – the topic has been overdone – almost become superficial. Its views are important but it has become white noise Ethonomics meaning …. Etho… latin… means your character – (who you want to be) – nomics applies to the harder facts.. Economics … I like that it sounds like a university course or a field of study.. Also implies that the topic is evolving and there are many chapters to be written … Ethonomics …combines ethics and economy As we progress thru,,, I will ask you questions of yourself and share results from our very scientific survey!!!! Like everything else done in 2016 its done via…. FACEBOOK!!!!
- Read the question Lets determine how stressed and wired you are as a group… As I ask you questions I will share with you results from our yearly Facebook wellness survey
- Eye opening ????? Maybe not . Went down from last year ---- are we less stressed ? ---Perhaps the definition of feeling stressed has changed and we define differently .. Perhaps we now feel our daily stress is the norm .. Regardless I like to know how stressed and update my audience is
- Lets talk wellness as an overall trend…..It seems that who we are and were we live has been effected by renewed interest in wellness. We have modified our life pattern and our homes to be more environmental friendly and our own lives to be more healthy. Yet where we spend the majority of our days is only now being rethought. Who we are: The effect of our choices Our activity exercise… movement Our food the story behind our foods, organics Where we live: Public transit Green space Farmers markets Bike Paths interacting with nature Rethinking our lives: You could argue that in many aspects of our lives... But why not the office... The area were we spent most of our waking hours
- This is one of my absolute favorite design quotes (it’s from the mid 1920’s) and it is more relevant today than ever. Design is the most powerful agent of change We recognize that our behaviors as persons and our actions as groups have broad, even global effects and we are designing more and more with the next step in mind
- It’s no secret that digital wizardry—television, the Internet, video games and the iPad—has lured many of us into leading a more sedentary life than did our fathers and grandfathers. These addictive gadgets invite us to sit, surf, watch and play for hours at a time. We have to exercise our will in order to be active, rather than a passive and immobile consumer of media in all of its forms. Scene from iRobot, 2004
- According to recent data from The Neilsen Company, pre-teen children, ages 6-11, spend 28 hours a week watching TV and DVDs or playing video games. 25% MEDIA MESH WEEKLY , which means…. watching something on tv then going on Wikipedia to understand it then texting it to your friends 53% MULTITASK WEEKLY 51% OWN A SMART PHONE …….. 6-11 YR old own a smart phone that’s crazy!!!!! If one adds the use of portable devices, time spent texting, listening to music and so forth, the figure skyrockets to more than 53 HOURS a week Wasn’t the old measure of a work week 40hrs… that’s a lot of digital time Photo: https://plustvplus.wordpress.com/category/2nd-screen/
- Three take aways Every 10% increase in communications technology increases totally obesity rate 1.4% …. Means every 10% additional time in front of screens being sedentary ..we get 1.4% more obese Since 1960 the average Americans weight has increased by 24lbs,, shows the lack of movement that has taken place,, And what that translates to is 25% increase in healthcare expenses - big economic effect on business which is why employers and concerned about the health and wellness of their employees Its fundamentally important to a business and its productivity bad for health- bad for business/economy More than one-third of U.S. adults (34.9%) are obese
- What will the long-range effects of technology be on human physiology and psychology, social norms and economic sustainability? The question is difficult to answer given that technology advances and “disrupts” at an ever-quicker pace, changing behaviors and social norms before we can stop to think about it. Remember, we’ve only had the iPad for 3 years, the iPhone for 5, and take a look around at how those devices have changed the way we work and play. What might occur once wearable technology becomes the norm? Image: published by The Journal of The American Medical Association and the New York Times
- There are over 10,000 consumer-oriented health apps available for iPhone download and one can also make use of digital gadgets that encourage and track physical activity wearables measures the duration and intensity of exercise, while Fitbit tracks daily activity, calories burned, sleep and weight and syncs to online tools that allow you to evaluate progress or link up with friends in order to stay motivated. Clearly, the ethos of wellness is now part of the social milieu—and the marketplace. technology to support every aspect of our personal health Mood: T2 Mood Tracker - http://www.t2.health.mil/apps/t2-mood-tracker Mood Panda - http://www.moodpanda.com/ In-flow - http://www.inflow.mobi Sleep Sleep Cycle - http://www.sleepcycle.com/ SleepBot - http://mysleepbot.com Exercise iMuscle Bodyspace iFitness Others HEART AND BLOOD Heart Rate - http://www.azumio.com/apps/ Basis B1 - http://www.mybasis.com/ DNA, BRAIN & LIFESTYLE 23andMe - https://www.23andme.com/ Lumosity - http://www.lumosity.com/ Think Dirty - http://www.thinkdirtyapp.com
- Tracking movement ……the positive is that it makes us aware of our actions. Once we are aware we are more likely to change our behavior. Nothing is as motivating as a goal Does anybody have a daily step goal ?...... Show my apple watch…….this tells me when its time to stand. To move around. In this case technology is acting as a nutrient

They are everywhere," "I'm in a busy hospital," and "The toilet is clogged.” Crazy Mouth, displays crazy mouths to hold up in front of your face. Don't forget to get laughs and get crazy. I Am Richer, which costs $200 for a glowing colored diamond that's supposed to be "mesmerizing." This is actually a thing.
- Read question on screen Pause, wait for answers…… A better question might be….. How many do you USE?
- Read Results
- Read question Pause Of those who raised their hands….. Are you involved in THRIVE……. In Step challenges????? Are you in competition with your fiends and family? My family is in a weekly challenge, my wife, kids ,cousins and brother and sister in laws… and being as competitive as I am…. I do not like to lose!!!!!! Our companies way of showing the importance of health and wellness for the employees
- 49% not interested????? Hmmmm….. I find that pretty high
- Many people today are interested in the story behind their food: where it comes from, how it’s made and what’s in it. Beyond the fact that we can’t live without it, food is a sensory and social experience and our increasingly urban and diverse population seeks out ethnic and artisan foods, often buying fresh produce and prepared dishes from suppliers at farmer’s markets, food trucks, pop-up diners and roadside stands.
- Such interest in healthy eating and authentic foods—as opposed to generic, packaged and highly processed foods—parallels concerns about healthy eco-systems and environments, urban planning and transport, and ethical consumerism. At the same time, there is still a fast food drive-through at every major intersection and while McDonald’s now puts apple slices in every Happy Meal, the Department of Agricultre’s Healthy Eating Index shows only modest improvement in US fast food menus. Animation: how healthy are people eating across the world depending on time of day. Pulled from stats compiled from food logging app: The Eatery http://ipod.about.com/od/DietApps/fr/The-Eatery-Diet-App-Review.htm
- Food trends are, of course, just that—trends. This week, the healthy thing to eat is kale, flax seeds and yogurt. Or, red wine and dark chocolate. Tomorrow, it will be something else. One trend that has evolved to become almost mainstream is the preference for organic food and the growth of the organic food industry—the fastest growing sector of the American food industry. Organic food sales grew by 17 to 20 percent a year in the early part of the 21st century, while sales of conventional food grew only about 2-3 percent per year Clothes Made out of Food by Ted Sabarese http://www.beautifullife.info/art-works/clothes-made-out-of-food-by-ted-sabarese/
- From 2007 to 2012, the number of food hubs — local groups that connect farmers to food-using businesses — increased 288 percent. Here's an even more ridiculous number: Since 2006, the number of school districts with farm-to-school programs jumped 430 percent, according to the USDA
- Of course, the food we put on our plates has an effect beyond providing nutrients or inflicting damage on our own bodies. The transportation of produce from distant locales has a carbon footprint. The pesticides and herbicides used in large-scale farming seep into rivers and affect biodiversity and the health of our communities. Packaging presents problems of waste and landfill. The value of choosing to purchase and prepare nourishing, fresh, sustainable food grown by local farms is now recognized at the level of community and national policy. We want to be informed – know where things originate – similar questions are being asked of us as manufacturer. Where are your products manufactured, where do your raw materials come from… a story we love to tell…… (teknion story numbers )
- Here is a great example of ethos and nomics coming together…. For the 20,000 employees who work at Google, “food is deeply entwined with the company culture and identity.” There is no generic bulk food in its cafes, of which there are 17 for the 4,000 workers at the Mountain View headquarters campus. Employees are more productive when they eat healthy organic foods.. It makes good business sense!!! Google supports local farming, organic produce, hormone-free meats and healthful eating:
- Ask Question…...Pause
- Review findings
- How regularly do you eat locally grown food
- I would venture to say if this is taken again in 10 yrs the numbers would be different
- Where do you fit in Rarity or routine
- Some motivation required!!!!! Think about this Gyms from the 80;s rows and rows of benches and nautical machines , very uniform , very much like the office cubicles of the 80’s Whereas today its about crossfit its about outdoor movement programs, the key is getting people moving! Anyone see a parallel to the office/ built environment of today? We are designed to move !!!!! Scientist say we are designed to travel up to 60KM (37.28 miles) a day. FORGET THE 10,000 steps a day I’m striving for ….. We sweat , we don’t pant… that means we are made for distance …. Estimates are that human can beat a horse in a 26.2m marathon
- We have a role through our work creating the built environment to make this work – 48% of us say that they feel more stimulated and constructive after a walk during lunch.. We all know this yet only 15% of us do it. We use excuses to busy…. Or … bad weather its up to us to make us move – making us more productive … for some companies it is programs examples new balance – organization in movement that taught employees how to move throughout the day… “mobile meetings” – “walk and talk calls” …. Companies like Accenture implement 10,000 steps a day program and encouraged employees to achieve it – bi weekly training
- Today’s urban planners and architects are deeply concerned with the interface between artificial and natural and how things can co-exists. The goal a more robust urban environment, one that incorporates efficient public transit, walk-able neighborhoods, parks, trails and other amenities that invite outdoor recreation.
- One of the things that inspired us in our research is the Active Design guidelines – that were created under a task force by Mayour Bllomberg and are deigned to …..
- Our cities are being designed for people – we are building healthy cities… in the paper we worked with Perkins and Will in New York City.. Drawing a lot of parallels between urban planning and office design … How we measure cities today is changing.. Years ago we looked at such measures , as university proximity, average household income , crime rate , number of pro sports team etc to determine a cities “value” … How do we measure cities now ??? ……………………Pause for answers… we have new measure of a cities true “liveability” Next Slide….
- We have become top 10 list obsessed……. Measurement of our cities…. WHO DO YOU THINK TOPPED THE LIST ????
- Why did San Fran do so well - they seem to be top 5 in everything … second best public transit. Very high number of LEED accredited buildings, very good air quality as measured by amount of emissions … not surprising New York – The Million Trees Program created in 2007 aims to plant 1 million trees by 2017. New York is currently ahead of its goal, having planted an average of 19,000 street trees Montreal – Montreal introduced Canada’s first self-service bicycle rental network, BIXI, in 2009. With 5,000 bicycles and 400 docking stations, it is currently the largest bicycle share program in North America.
- 2. has the city Planned for dense, walk-able, mixed-use neighborhoods that promote exercise. (this image in RIO is a page out of the active design guideline , curb extensions , use of trees , color paths etc etc ) Picture: Rio De Janeiro boardwalk/bike path on Avenida Vieira
- 3. Provide fast, reliable and energy efficient public transportation, in which pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure is an important component. ( a key measurement how many people bike or take public transit )….. The discussion on the automobile is one of the most interesting going on …..

- 3. Protect and nourish parks, urban forests, urban agriculture and other “green” aspects of the urban ecology. Picture: San Francisco, Yerba Buena Gardens
- 4. Protect riparian corridors and waterfront sites (“blue” spaces)…. Old english term that all should benefit from and access water , no just land owners Picture: Road restored to river, Cheonggyecheon in Seoul
- 5. Funding for educational, cultural, recreation and health care facilities. Picture: Promenada Mall and recreational center Bucharest Romania
- 6. Close the loop of the urban metabolism, e.g., use household waste to fuel power plants; use storm water runoff to irrigate lawns and landscaping Image: reusing storm water for irrigating Sydney Park and reducing harbor pollution, Sydney, Australia
- 7. Make resource conservation and the use of renewable energy an integral part of city policy Picture: Shanghai solar panel plant
- 8. Address sustainable building practices-how structures are built, renovated and managed (40% of the world’s energy consumption comes from buildings) Image: Roof of the Bullitt Centre, Seattle - The greenest commercial building in the world with net-zero water and energy use, FSC wood, and workstations and seating.
- This sustainable approach to city planning is mirrored by current trends in architecture and interior design. designers are rethinking all types of spaces, including work settings that are more interesting, inspiring and health-giving.
- Lets recap the trends taking place and the major influences that are and will continue to effect the office There is a rethink …… We are rethinking who we are. Our choices matter and we want the story behind the story We are more conscious of what we eat and where things are made Activity is essential to our on going health We are redefining active and trying to move more Rethinking where we live, …..Our cities… and what makes a livable city today And lastly we starting to think about where we work ….the next frontier and that’s where the trend is taking us
- and finally…….THE HEALTHY WORKPLACE… the next frontier The drivers are there….. The way we are living our own lives The knowledge is there , (seem to have the facts, we seem to measure the right things. , a lot of sustainability programs and LEED programs that guide us in the right direction Its up to us and our companies to really push this forward… to achieve the HEALTHY WORKPLACE -
- a new trend has emerged, the anti open plan
- It is a formula – a formula is a plan or method of doing , making or achieving something– a list of ingerdients used for making something. It is not the same formula for everyone… a single formula will not work for ever company – need to select the ingredients that work for them
- We live in an instantaneous world.. We expect a quick answer We have been using an antiquated formula for office planning. A formula is a plan or method of doing , making or achieving something– a list of ingredients used for making It is not the same formula for everyone… a single formula will not work for ever company – need to select the ingredients that work for them ……. Any ingredient unto itself is interesting , but the best things occur when different flavors mix together to create something truly different and unique .. Its not like we are discovering new spices yearly , but the blending and fusions continues and generation and generation to make new foods and drinks
- The industry spent along time assuming every employee need a dedicated space… that we spend the majority of our time in our offices , that we are focused and not fluid in how we work. Research has proved that all wrong …
- Through our sharing of observations we will look at the same 20,000 sqft space and dig deeper through the formula Design for balance – differ in scale, enclosure and furniture - allow for people to pick their experience
- The old formula primarily fcused on two settings (workstations and meetings rooms ) at a range of 80/20.

- The goal is no longer to meet – it is too collaborate… change the old paradigm of a meeting room with a square table for 6. Collaboration takes on many forms . Spread them out through a space … some are technical , some are formal , technology or analog. Whiteboards or clean formal spaces. All needed
- Less formal , built for varying occupancies
- http://officesnapshots.com/2015/06/05/dynamit-columbus-offices/
- The equation has definitely change almost 80/20 in the other direction. Most of the discussions we are having and the most interesting planning is takning plcae in the areas designed to collborate , socialize or relax. The balance has shifted
- Design for choice – there are several different work modes we have to be in over the coarse of the day. An open plan layout is not the single answer. As the office opned up – it became nosy Work mode – thought pattern – the right environment at that moment The biggest challenge is interruption and we have to design for choice … how bad is interruption in the office today ? the open plan is embraced by some and deeply regretted by others who say that lack of speech privacy inhibits in-depth conversation and continual noise disruptions contribute to physical and mental exhaustion. Its not necessarily age related (differences between minenials – boomers) Its necessarily work function based (all jobs focus shift over the coyarse of a day ( create, review , share, analyze) And even with all the noise its not personality based … wheter you are an extrovert or an introvert.. We all need uninterrupted time
- more than just about noise … lets consider the digital distraction
- • It takes 15 minutes to get to deep meaningful thought, yet on average we are interrupted every 7 minutes. If you are on social media, IM or texting, you are likely interrupted every 2 minutes. To re-orient takes 20-25 minutes because you need to remember where you were, what you were thinking, and try and focus again.
- An estimated 40% of our time is sucked away by technology distractions or e-mail triage.
- The average person looks at a message 5-7 times before they answer it.
- Our inability to focus on any given task is becoming a real concern. The Mayo Clinic offers courses to aid with “attention therapy” and “practicing presence.” There are camps and clinics popping up across the country to provide a “tech detox.”
- Design for choice - work alone , collaborate, work alone together – access to all … informal spaces , formal spaces – EACH SETTING HAS ITS OWN LEVEL OF ACCESSIBILITY AND >>>

- #2 Active Design Creatting an environment that promotes moevment and activity throughout the day . Movment with an employees workspace and activity acroos the entire floor plate
- We are question the effect of the knowledge based work economy on our health. We all love infographics and live in a “top ten world” these two certainly got there share of attention …..sitting has become the smoking of our generation
- Movment
- sitting has become the smoking of our generation Infographic cred: Medicalbillingandcoding.org
- - Incorporate “active” design
- MOVEMENT Our purpose is to explore new perspectives on work, and in particular how the workplace can enable the physical and mental vitality that’s needed to learn, create and innovate. This is not an exercise to put treadmills or trampolines into our workstations. Your next position is your best position
- Productivity? Dr. Jack Callaghan at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, has pursued extensive research related to biomechanics in the workplace. Dr. Callaghan, Canadian Research Chair for Spine Biomechanics, Professor and Director of Spine Research and Injury Prevention Laboratory, has focused on how sit/stand height adjustable tables impact worker posture, comfort and productivity. In a report by Dr. Callaghan and his team were able to show that sit / stand working is likely to ameliorate perceived whole body discomfort and low back discomfort without compromising worker productivity.
- How does movement effect productivity ….. Dr. Jack Callaghan at the University of Waterloo , extensive research related to biomechanics in the workplace. Dr. Callaghan, Canadian Research Chair for Spine Biomechanics, Professor and Director of Spine Research and Injury Prevention Laboratory, has focused on how sit/stand height adjustable tables impact worker posture, comfort and productivity. In a report by Dr. Callaghan and his team were able to show that sit / stand working is likely to ameliorate perceived whole body discomfort and low back discomfort without compromising worker productivity. Height adjustable tables have recently caught on… what is shocking is that we don’t know the effect of standing nor do we really know how to stand.
- How to stand; further research from the University of waterloo highlighted "how we should stand .. .3:1 does not mean sit for 3 hours and stand for 1. frequency is important as is demonstrated in our infographic The accepted ratio of sitting to standing at a sit-to-stand desk is three-to-one. The big revelation of Teknion’s new study is to reverse the conventional sit-stand wisdom of a three-to-one sit-to-stand ratio. Instead, Dr. Callaghan’s team found, you should stand for three and sit for one. So, if you sit for five minutes, try standing for 15 minutes. For an eight-hour workday this would break down to two hours of sitting and six hours of standing. Dr. Callaghan advises that you change position often and not wait until you feel pain or discomfort before changing positions. (It’s like drinking water: If you wait until you’re thirsty, you’re already on your way to becoming dehydrated.) A good starting frequency, he suggests, would be 15 minutes standing to five minutes sitting. Then you can lengthen both exposures as you discover what feels best. If you develop lower-back pain, you may need to start with more time sitting and build up to longer periods of standing.
- Activity Based Design – do not cluster resources (photocopiers, food services etc), create opportunities to change postures, furniture that moves and modifies - Proper balance , choice , colour promote movement ---- active stairways , views in active spaces, variety of spaces , “pick your experience”
- Human Centered Design – access to the outdoors and the rich sensory experience that can be created through color and material selection
- We talk a lot about the positive effects of the residential feel / shift of the office – its a lot more than putting in a few sofas Create interest and a stimulating work environment through the use of dualities of material (no longer a monothic office with touches of Warm / cool Textures /smooth Shinny / matte Solid / pattern Large / small scale sensory stimulation Creating workspaces that are inviting, comfortable and uplifting depends upon a skillful combination of materials, textures, patterns and colors. It is essential to choose materials that do not contain toxins or emit VOCs. Designers also choose materials for their sound-absorbing value, pleasing tactile qualities and the visual richness of color, pattern and texture. Beyond aesthetics, varied sensory stimulation can engage and energize people at work. The impact of human systems on natural systems—and the impact of environment upon human beings—we can posit that the power of design today is something more than aesthetics, communication or the creation of desirable products. Rather, it must be practiced as a process of integrative thinking (a synthesis of design, technology, science and humanistic principles) set within the context of social, economic and environmental ethics: “ethonomics.”
- Article in Fast Company – why you should never paint your office walls white “ 3 groups tested in 3 different colors … : red, white, and aqua. (not all effected). There were perferential differnces to both , however, more errors when they worked in the white room. In the past “color was a reflection of the companies brand “ University of Texas, researcher Nancy Kwallek tested the impact of color on productivity

- Multiple independent studies confirm a direct link between the amount of natural light in a workplace and levels of employee well-being “better” view—gauged by size and vegetation content—was consistently associated with better worker performance.
- In order to thrive, people need access to daylight and a pleasant view, while spaces that contain natural elements or offer access to the out of doors can reduce stress and increase relaxation in office workers. Biophilia and biometrics are also being explored as we look to learn from nature and intertwine it with the built environment.
- Biophilic design posits that human beings have a biologically-based need to affiliate with nature

- Mix use – move an dcombine support items to encourage people to move and interact
- As the world continues to urbanize and more people work longer hoursindoors, often at a computer, it becomes ever more important to employ design to reduce stress, enhance creativity and improve mental and physical health. We need design that connects us with nature, that supports our biological need to move and our emotional need to occasionally withdraw to think or rest as much as we need the means to draw people together and connect their working thoughts and ideas.
