FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24th
Curious Observation & the Design of Experimental Spaces | 1.0H, HSW Presented and Sponsored by Patcraft Consumer drivers and behaviors give rise to design movements, which often collide with intrinsic needs. By exploring what motivates us, we are led to the discovery of balanced solutions for the built environment—solutions that are based upon how we experience space. Over the course of the past year several drivers, for example connectivity or balancing uncertainty, have transformed, ultimately accelerating different design outcomes. Through the lens of curious observation, this session will explore these ideas and how they impact the design of commercial spaces within various industries. Sharing insight into a process that is connected to collaboration and thought-partnership, along with research from a commissioned WGSN study, attendees will understand how each of these components come together to keep people connected for the human experience. Neurodiversity and Workplace Inclusivity | 1.0H, HSW, Basic | CEU-113004 Sponsored by Cronan & Associates Approximately 15-20 percent of people are neurodivergent, meaning they have one of a collection of conditions that includes autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and dyslexia. Over the next decade, 700,000 to over one million adults with autism will enter the U.S. workforce. As a result, organizations are redesigning spaces to be more inclusive, helping an increasingly neurodiverse workforce thrive. Employers are also beginning to recognize that accommodating neurodiverse people can provide a significant competitive advantage, leading to a range of more inclusive policies, programs and procedures. Learn from this expert panel how designers can help organizations influence the physical and cultural adaptations required to create physical work environments that support the full range of employees, neurotypical and neurodivergent. Designing for Focus Work | 1.0H, HSW, Intermediate | CEU-106849-R1 Presented by Haworth Sponsored by Innerplan Employers who are desperate to innovate often create open workplaces to initiate collaboration and feel justified by the cost savings earned from limiting the real estate dedicated to individual workspace. While open workplaces can support communication among team members, more recent research indicates that the costs to individual employee performance can outweigh the benefits of collaborative group work.This 1-hour course will provide an understanding of how we focus—and what sabotages that focus—and will help you develop strategies for protecting focus work for different tasks and people. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25th Altered States: the Future of Consciousness | 1.0H, HSW | CEU - CC - 109460 Presented and Sponsored by Tarkett Altered States is an inspiring study on the role of design in impacting Cultural Consciousness of ourselves, our community and our spaces. Within the discussion, we examine five up-and-coming cultural drivers and data around them, through the lens of: 1) The current state of the human condition; 2) Communities in flux; and 3) The evolution of place. The goal is to review our current state of consciousness, and provide insights for personal development, the new connectivity and a potential blueprint for a happier workplace. |
