Over the past semester students from the Interactive Environments minor at TU Delft have collaborated with the Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions (AMS Institute) as part of the Living Office Seeds project. The students have been doing research, designing and prototyping new ways to deliver an engaging and flexible office environment to suit the work needs of our times. Their work includes prototypes for:

  • personalization of the office space and climate,
  • structuring personal office activities while showing social availability,
  • booking and organizing a meeting,
  • relaxing and informally mingling,
  • getting a grasp on the data produced by the office building, and
  • casually exploring various projects of office peers.

We cordially invite you to attend the official launch of the prototypes at the AMS Institute office. The event will also mark the start of the Office Living Lab activities at AMS Institute, where presented prototypes will serve as instruments for conducting further research into the topics such as:

  • enhancing sense of ownership and personalization in a clean-desk workspace,
  • balancing work activities in a flexible office with flexible occupants, and
  • reaching flourishing office communities through self-directed office adaptation and transformation.

The event will take place on Wednesday 23 January, 16:00, the AMS Institute Marineterrein Amsterdam, Kattenburgerstraat 5, Building 027W - 2ndfloor, 1018 JA Amsterdam
