About this Item

Neuware - Fueled by an increasingly interconnected world, the desire for engaging experiences plays a more important role in interiors than ever before. There is a tendency in the design of products, furniture, and environments toward enhanced interaction that employs psychosocial principles. This publication presents both high and low-tech applications ranging from a light fixture to art installations and fully realized buildings. The book illustrates human-centered design strategies through a series of six chapters, each including examples that introduce one of following approaches: communicating, stimulating, synomorphic, transactional, transformative, and challenging. ; Interaktive Anwendungen nehmen in der Innenarchitektur durch fortschreitende Technik und Digitalisierung eine immer wichtigere Rolle ein. Ob bei Produkten, Möbeln oder Räumen: Die Vernetzung mit dem Nutzer ist der Trend, für den auch umwelt- und verhaltenspsychologische Aspekte relevant sind. Die Publikation dokumentiert die Vielfalt solcher Anwendungen, vom Lichtschalter bis hin zum komplett gestalteten Raum (einer Schule, eines Flugplatzes, eines Spas) und präsentiert dabei High- wie auch Lowtech-Projekte. Das Buch erläutert die verschiedenen Prinzipien der Interaktion zwischen Produkt und Nutzer und stellt dann in sechs Kapiteln jeweils anhand von sechs Projektbeispielen eine dieser interaktiven Funktionen vor: kommunizieren, stimulieren, anpassen, reagieren, umformen und herausfordern.

About this title

Synopsis

An environment or object, in many ways, is a prompt, which has the duality of being both a thing and an action that incites and inspires.
-Tamie Glass in the Introduction of Prompt

Fueled by an increasingly interconnected world, the desire for engaging experiences plays a more critical role in the built environment than ever before, particularly at the scale of the interior. Constructed spaces—in their entirety or through the employment of a single product or piece of furniture—can promote social interactions, encourage changes in behavior, shape perceptions of use, or challenge accepted cultural norms.

As a thought starter for designers, Prompt by Tamie Glass delves into the significance and importance of the built environments in which individuals occupy for approximately 90% of their time. How does a space’s design help shape people’s behaviors and emotions? How does a space connect to individuals and in turn connect individuals to each other?

Throughout her book, Glass offers a curated selection of high- and low-tech examples that express timely and timeless concepts. Ranging from a light switch to art installations and fully realized buildings, the projects illuminate psychosocial principles and specific strategies for harnessing the power of design to impact the human experience.
