Outstanding Landscape of Affordances
Thema: A vision of the workplace where the chair and the table are no longer the starting point.
Beschreibung: Outstanding Landscape of Affordances shows how our offices could invite a more active and healthy life style. RAAAF | Barbara Visser presented an animation of a futuristic landscape of possibilities for working while standing up, a sculpture to be realized by the artists in Amsterdam in spring 2015.
It is designed out of a thousand different possibilities for working in positions between standing and laying. The key is that the sculpture’s affordances stimulate people to take up different working positions during the day and promotes concentration. The richness of this landscape of affordances gives people the freedom to find the optimal position for their different tasks during the working day. This vision presents a radical break with regular office furniture and current working models such as „flex-working“, which all are still based on sitting. In fact our entire surroundings are designed for being seated. This is a first step towards a future in which standing at work is the new norm. A lifelong health where we are both physically and mentally active.
