This module looks at the changing nature of work, and how to design effective flexible workplaces for this new era. Starting by exploring the long-term trends that we see and the s eismic impact of the Covid pandemic on how and where we work, we will explore the impact of office design on individual and business performance. We will look at evidence-based design, using both qualitative and quantitative data to ensure optimum design impact. The module examines different design strategies and their delivery. Starting with an overview of different work and workplace typologies and how these impact the way in which we work, it will then explore the importance of designing both a flexible and sustainable workplace, and seeks to provide an understanding of how to focus on staff wellbeing and the role of WELL Certified criteria when assessing design. Finally, the module will look at technology and the future office; and the importance of a holistic approach to aligning workplace design with behavioural change and technology. There will be the opportunity to understand the emerging smart building technologies and the impact that they can have on workplace performance, and then finally we will look at the long-term future of work – how will emerging technology and social dynamics impact future working and the designs that you create? This module will aim to highlight how your designs can make a fundamental difference to people’s working lives.
