NOMADoffices / working spaces for digital nomads
MANIFESTO //////////////// WHAT ///// WHERE /////// HOW // Parametric style critique. In majority of projects, algorithmic design is a basic tool for attractive form only. This approach does not solve functional aspects. It creates an attractive and high-cost elevation rather than logical and ergonomic structure. Parametricism 2.0. An approach based on a spatial use of parametric software to design efficient and comfortable space which is based on prior analysis of surrounding and function. NOMADoffice is designed fully in the parametric environment. You have to assign basic data (border of the building, height, trees localisation, entrances and amount of offices) to generate the structure.
Digital nomadism. “One of the most rapid growing social trends is modern, or digital nomadism.” Natalia Hatalska, Infuture Hatalska Foresight Institute. The majority of jobs are no more depending on a permanent place to work. Digital nomads derive from various businesses. From writers, bloggers, journalists, photographers, programmers, graphic designers, also lawyers and teachers, but also psychologists who give video call counsels and much more. The Huge market is shaping for this style of working. It’s potential is verified by the statistic of 1 billion of digital nomads in 2035.
What is NOMADoffices? Personalised offices for nomad style workers. Each user of the programme has its own profile where his adjustments to the working space are assigned. User’s tools, software, hardware, even decoration of the interior of the office has its own signature version. Each user can book an office for a certain period in particular localisation in the world. The mobile office is crucial in working effectiveness. It minimises time to prepare your office and you can use it in each city which is in NOMADoffices programme. No longer localisation of the worker is important since his office is following him in the same shape. The psychologically stable environment in working is essential. It makes us not distracted by new surrounding, also helps the feeling of security and stabilisation of the firm.
2D City. 1863 in London the first subway in the world has been opened. It was a big beginning of underground cities development. Today, 157 cities in 55 countries have metro system. NOMADoffices entrance directly from a level of a subway station. XXL density. Metropolitan centres are extremely dense. Manhattan has 27’826 people per km2. New investing have no space to develop. Only parts left are public spaces like parks, squares and streets. The design will adapt underground part of cities but simultaneously not disturb the on ground part. Direct natural light in office buildings is over rated. Workers pull down sun shields while
working on a computer. Lighting in NOMADoffices is fully controlled and adapted to digital work. Dependent unit. Paradoxically break in the work is a key point of work itself. NOMADoffice does not include any additional services on purpose. Whether localisation is in the strict centre then the surrounding is fully equipped with various services. The design treats the city as an organism by contrast to hermetic people closing buildings. Additionally, Steve Johnson prooves that creativity is stimulated by leaving work space to release our mind from psychological working-load. It also serves our life in the social sense to meet new people and try new things in opposition to internal-office canteen.
