Smart Textile District.

Through findings of Ghent, the proposal of this urban renewal project calls for an innovation and enterprise district at the north of the city centre. Namely `Smart Textile Innovation and Enterprise District’, it is a sustainable modern innovation approach on what is now formerly an industrial district. This new district connects other further districts, making it a go to for its proximity, identity and accessibility to the future. This project addressed as realistic and relatable to the locals through the textile industry along with other services sector. A pragmatic approach that is suitable to its context is proposed by cultivating a live, work and leisure lifestyle where everything of daily activities is in the vicinity. This urban architectural approach supports Ghent to be a greener city. Furthermore, the proposition of public realms further enhancing its characteristic streets. It is a neighbourhood of sharing knowledge and entrepreneurship through smart textile innovation, with the ambition of bringing back textile as part of the economy generator again.

Width of the vehicle lanes are planned to be narrowed and on-site parking is to be move further to give more space for stationary public users, pedestrians and bicycle lane. Another vision is to have more ‘outdoor living room’ at which social spaces on ground level and offices or residential above.

Contemporary Office; Influence of Architectural Qualities on WellBeing

Year

2019

“With increasing automation of our productive processes, and notwithstanding the application of computers to administrative work, the number of office workers will grow. To ensure that this growth is accompanied by a more than relative increase in productivity, we must recognise that one of the most important factors governing the productivity of office staff is the environment. You cannot get good work out of bad offices.” (Duffy and Hannay, 1992)

2020 Portfolio Nur Afiqah Sallyhah Binti Abdul Aziz

Introduction Among the Physical architectecural elements aspects in relation to well-being discussed: 1.Colours When it comes to consultation, what is essential to be noted is the effect of various colours must be understood. A recent study claimed that offices that are using grey colour too much or plain white office escalates depression, especially in women. On the other hand, men encountered similar reactions when interior design pours too much purple and orange colour into the work environments (K2space, 2017). 2.Technology 3.Workspace & Storage. Good workplace experience is encouraged in offices. A suitable phrase that is generally used is called a break out space. This area can serve as a location where creativity and communication are not heavily anchored to a formal mindset. Basically, employees are given the freedom to work anywhere they choose to work, depending on how complicated their task is. 4.Acoustics/noise level by other employees. 5.Ventilations and temperature. 6.The Green Workplace. The green workplace aims to bring nature into the building. Benefits of green plants are that it makes an individual feel at ease. Somehow individuals choose to have a small plant on their workspace or near them. This is because people feel connected to nature. Furthermore, not only it circulates the air in the office, but can provide comforts to the occupants. (K2space, n.d.) 7.Natural lighting. 8.Ergonomic design.

The acceleration of technologies development and creative industries produces more creative workers who have specific needs for their workspace. It is also office designs that influence their wellbeing. In this era, workspace functions evolve and break the idea of one size function formal working space. This research explores an individual’s attitude towards internal environment factors with different office layouts. For example, an employee in an open-plan layout would have different requirements, satisfaction and comfort compared to a colleague who is working in a private space. The research will address the particular ideas of respondents with regard to the ideal workspace. The research questions addressed are as below: 1) Is the importance of physical work environment elements significantly shaped from an individual’s character? 2) Does an occupant’s satisfaction with the physical work environment elements differ with different types of workspaces? 3) Will the advanced portable devices that allow anyone to work anywhere and anytime, affect their relationship with other people?

Methodology An occupant of working space survey database has been conducted online through Google Survey. Response data has been gathered from a variable group of occupations and workspaces. A total of 215 respondents expressed their satisfaction level on a fivepoint scale. The questionnaire considers an individual’s satisfaction ratings on different aspects of the physical environment in their workspaces such as types of office layout, interior architecture, privacy, visuals, noise level, temperature and others. Secondly, the survey covers aspects related to co-working spaces. It questions the amount of time spent either by freelancers or office workers. The participants answer the questions with a “yes, no, maybe” answers.

People’s productivity is getting less and less. As stated by the Eurostat database, there is a gradual decrease in the percentage of labour productivity per person employed and hour worked from 2005 to 2017. In 2017, average hours worked per week of fulltime employment in the United Kingdom is 42.5 hours and for 40 hours for European region individually. Productivity decreases when more time is spent at work. This shows that, since the access to the computers and internet, people spend more time working.

Chart 9, reports that the enclosed private office has the overall highest satisfaction level on the environmental qualities. Individuals have a sense of control in the working space relative to visual privacy, noise, ease of interaction, and other qualities. However, they are less satisfied about the flexibility of adjusting their furniture. This results from a standard space dimension provided and how furniture in private offices are usually a one size fits all, for example, by having a fix large structured desk that sticks to the wall storage cabinets. Open-plan with no partitions, however, has the widest variation in satisfaction level of indoor qualities. Despite the differences in opinions about open plan, the design achieves it’s aim to facilitate ease of interaction. At the same time, the graph depicts that the issues causing the most dissatisfaction with the environmental qualities are the sound privacy followed by visual privacy. Sound privacy and the ease of interaction always go together. As mentioned in chapter 2, a way to overcome problems is that the employees themselves must control the loudness of the conversation as to prevent from disturbing others. Besides that, they can locate themselves somewhere else, provided a space where the noise level can be tolerated. Consistently, chart 9 shows that the lowest satisfaction of indoor environmental qualities factors found in most configurations, except home offices, are sound privacy and adjusting furniture. It shows that individuals have a preference for furniture. Perhaps, due to the chair settings or laptop settings are too long. Hence, the office should provide more ergonomic furniture. This guarantees employees’ comfort by investing in various types of seating, adjustable desk with heights and spaces that support

The difference between what is old and new is that in the 19thcentury people monitored their staff’s physically up close like a teacher in the classroom. As time progressed to the 20th century, the monitoring staff’s performance is more often done from a distance. Now, it is like “eye in the sky”. Cloud structure system, such as the use of performance indicator via the internet, performance can be nurtured and managed via internet whereby datelines are set up, a period spent for work in progress and log in time are accessed. This research gives awareness to the reader that employee’s health and wellbeing are crucial concerns that must continue to receive attention. It will make a difference in their busy working lifestyle and attracting people who love to do work more in the office. Individuals can decide to choose where to work anytime, but this study found that productivity does not go well when people are working overtime. Despite the ease in completing tasks, there is a risk that virtual office in the cyber era can contribute to poor health if people practise unhealthy working lifestyles. In architectural perspectives, it is the designer’s responsibility to design and provide the space and advise the client. One must acknowledge that the most critical assets in an organisation come from within the workers that contribute to the organisation production. Design should focus on fulfilling each category of employee’s requirement and overall balancing it out with the organisation’s goal.

CONCLUSION

This study focused on the well-being of an individual that is affected by the architectural qualities within the office space. Office designs should “step up its game” to provide an enjoyable working culture. In the social media world where people connect easily socially too, they require to have similar space to “healthy and hipster” work environment as they observed. It is essential to have a designated break out space to allow people to take a break and gain inspirations in a comfortable ambience and enjoyable way. People work differently. Some areas needed a space with full concentration and some needs creativity spaces along with noises in the background.

The birth of office trends started with a rigidly structured system and went through irregular forms. Offices are now a mix of both designs embracing the concept of well-being culture into the system. Nowadays, people work away from the central office; at home, co-working space or coffee shop.

All in all, the findings of this study should be of practical benefit when organisations adapt their office or move to a new site. One of the solutions to the challenge of distraction and comfort issues in office space now is that every organisation should provide several work settings for individuals that go along with their need

INTERVIEW + LOCAL NEWS

Make Ellesmere Port town Great Again.

Location

Ellesmere Port, United Kingdom 56

At a low demand and interest on its function, Ellesmere Port town needs to reinvent itself to attract dwellers, entrepreneurs and investors. We learn about the current social and economic condition through visiting a key person, Mr Hollestelle, and read about the local plans and strategic framework. We do address our insufficient market and land ownership research due to time constraints, and make this project as realistic and exciting as possible. We also used books to help in the design. Addressing the lack of funds, we propose a pragmatic and contextual approach that enhances the appeal of public realms, ie through three interlinked but discrepant squares - for play, for gathering, and for trading. We also suggest the introduction of zoning and change of functions for certain failing buildings. These schemes ultimately infer the densification of the town centre and the increasing mix-use. We try to rebrand the town as modern, youthful and resilient as well as incorporate a slow change of location of high street from Whitby Road to Wellington Road.

The new located Civic Square is enclosed on all four sides which are the new Civic Hall, new Council Office, restaurants, cafes, and retails, increasing its intimacy experience and value to its surrounding.

With re-imagination to the cold underused square, the space is changed to a fun space by creating a fun hardscape. The ‘play square’ engages all ages to transit, pause, gather and play in between their journey.

Open Market Square is a place to exchange goods and food. The park is more accessible with cobblestone road that slows down cars. Shipping container pop box is a sustainable designed to extends the goods exchange activity. 60
