Designing to Cultivate Creativity

Neuroscience research makes it clear: space design can make it more likely that people will think creatively. Now, when one of the prime reasons to return to the office is to generate creative solutions to the challenging problems organizations face, it's particularly important to put to work what neuroscientists have learned about designing to nurture creativity. How can color, lighting, aesthetics, art, surface materials, furniture, soundscapes, indoor plants, nonverbal messaging, floorplanning, and architecture, for example, be used to encourage creative thinking? How can these design elements, and others, reinforce each other and simultaneously spur creativity? Designers can immediately use the information presented to develop environments that foster creative thinking/problem-solving.
IHCD’s Executive Director, Valerie Fletcher, will moderate the session with time for live questions and answers to follow.
