We also heard the latest thinking on new developments in workplaceDesign and place making - are offices now obsolete? How to make hybrid work? Why are some settings never used? How do third spaces interact with the city? How to spread research knowledge in practice?

In our session today, we discussed office buildings together with my long-term collaborator, friend and ex-colleague Rosie Haslem
Another brilliant and engaging session on architectural research in practice, differences between academic and practice-led research as well as various research tools

Spatial layouts provide material conditions for all of those needs and constraints and shape not only pedagogy and how students learn but also how communities form, who meets who, how power asserts itself through surveillance and how people feel about their schooling

We learnt that school buildings differ not only by climate (warm countries have more courtyards and exterior spaces) but also by culture (gender separation in Saudi Arabia), size (from 100s to 1000s of students), schedules (all day needs canteens) and by pedagogy (high discipline context in Kazakhstan for example)
Last week, we discussed school buildings. Students made a sketch (from memory) of the secondary school they attended.
So many great examples from all over the world - from a small school in Chile boasting a slide from classrooms to playground all the way to a large Silicon Valley campus
Two favourite sessions in a row with my MSc students at the Bartlett School of Architecture discussing buildings and social relationships π«ΆπΌ

This is a lovely review of my latest Buildings&Cities paper on clinic layouts at Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Trust
#ArchitecturalResearch #SpatialLayout #spatialAnalysis #Simulation
In the bustling corridors of Moorfields Eye Hospital, a silent revolution is underway, one that could reshape how we think about patient flow and clinic design. At the heart of this transformation isβ¦
New publication by my friend and collaborator Prof Julie Zook and colleagues on hospital ward layouts, showing that a more visually open corridor layout supported higher levels of care team communication
Corridors don't just connect things - they are important spaces for knowledge work

Together with my brilliant collaborator @ChrystalaPsathiti, I was invited by the #WorkplaceGeeks Ian Ellison and Chris Moriarty to talk about our latest research paper on adolescent perceptions of schools in relation to their spatial layout, originally published in the Journal of Architecture and now featured in the wonderful Workplace Geeks podcast series 3.
