Creativity and workmanship under a single roof, yet neither a university nor a factory – labs, studios and workshops are hubs of creative innovation and practical implementation. These two premises are the constants that define them as a place in which new things are developed. This volume examines the question of how the spaces for this process are actually created. It presents contemporary examples from areas as diverse as fashion, graphic design, architecture, and photography, as well as an exclusive patisserie and noble furniture workshops. These projects reflect already achieved accomplishments while promising future innovations.
Creativity is the impulse and prerequisite for countless occupations, in which the interplay between craft and thought generates something new. These innovations need space - an inspiring environment for creative inspiration and productive flow. "Inspired & Inspiring" showcases the most extraordinary spaces and buildings that inspire the creator through artful interior design, or stimulate ideas and focus the mind through minimalist architecture. In addition to workshops and studios from classic creative fields such as graphic design, photography and architecture, the sites of recent trends such as food labs or fashion workspaces are also presented in this volume. Along with an original mind and artistic talent, these exceptional spaces play a fundamental role in generating a successful creative outcome.
