New Work Environments
10 April 2010
This is the second year in a row that the International Forum of Creative Industries Bizkaia Creaktiva is held in Bilbao at the Maritime Museum on March 23rd, 24th, and 25th. Organized by Creativity Zentrum, the meeting has been a special occasion for the people interested in creative economy to exchange ideas and experiences. In addition to having original and renowned international speakers, the attendants were able to attend interesting workshops and seminars.
In the atrium of the Maritime Museum, the visitors were also able to enjoy a thought-provoking exhibition about new work environments, organized by ADN DESIGN with the cooperation of Muebles Icaza and BAIA Innovation Agency. As Carlos San José, exhibition organizer, said:
We are witnessing a redefinition of the work environments. The highest current level of computerization and work in a network are added to the evolution of the new technologies in communication and information.
The traditional design criteria are being reinterpreted due to the changes that are occurring. Solutions integrating architecture, office furniture and equipment with more environmental awareness and concern are pursued.
The companies suggest products that are flexible in use, the articulation capacity of the spaces, and the incorporation of technological novelties.
The different design solutions displayed in the exhibition try to optimize the ways of working, promoting the users’ quality of life. The products we can see in the exhibition propose work environments that are more pleasant, diversified, and that facilitate social relations.
