About Academy Bulego Barnealdearen Diseinua

Academy eguneroko lanerako, enpresako ekitaldietarako eta prestakuntza-saioetarako diseinatutako bulego-barnealdea da. Sarrera enpresaren kimika-jatorria islatzen duen argiztapen-gailu hexagonal batek argiztatzen du. Gelatinazko kapsulaz beteriko beirazko trenkadek pribatutasuna ematen dute eta industria farmazeutikoa gogorarazten dute. Eserleku informalak dituzten guneek, kafetegi batek, liburutegi batek eta grafikoak, pantaila interaktiboak eta informazio-diagramak dituzten bilera-gelek giro hezitzaile bat sortzen dute. Egur epelak, larruzko eserlekuek eta horma urdin ilunek osatzen dute 650 metro koadroko espazioa, hiru solairu berdinetan antolatua.

Production Technology: The floating hexagonal formation of solid wooden frames and lights together with the exposed metallic ventilation system at the entrance represents the industrial pharmaceutical business of the company. The mixture of warm natural wood, leather seats, glass partitions and textile curtains gave the space a genuine look while the dark blue color walls and featured doors represent again knowledge and learning.
Design Challenge: The main problem was the tight deadline that coincided with the company re-branding activities which created many constrains that were resolved by customizing many items on site. Also the onsite construction of the glass partitions with the capsules was challenging to produce consistent and void free aesthetic partitions.
Research: We studied employees needs, spending time at the company to come up with valuable working methods that serves future growth as well as the ethical culture in the company. Selecting suitable quotes and posters to represent each meeting room as one of the company branches across the world was an eye opener to users, while filling the glass partitions with gelatin capsules to achieve privacy in some spaces add an elegant charm to the offices and emphasis the pharmaceutical industry.
Inspiration: Inspired by the late founder words:
"Education is not a philosophy it's our policy."
We approached the project by introducing educational design concepts to create a multidisciplinary office and meeting space, taking the company history and growth and geographical reach mixed with the family culture to reflect on this simple yet modern and friendly open space design.
Project Duration: The project started in May 2018 and finished in October 2018 in Amman Jordan.
Operation Flow: Dynamic space allows employees to experience new concepts of work through learning in a positive and creative atmosphere and sense of belonging. A variety of working setups were introduced; benches, high desks, traditional desks, casual seating areas, interactive screens altogether to encourage performance in a productive and creative way. The space is used also to hold events, seminars and training sessions.
