Integrating AV and Design for Future-Ready Spaces
Using Technology-driven design
Leveraging on technological design to create a productive and multi-purpose environment. One way of achieving this goal is by the inclusion of audio-visual designs at the onset of the design of the building, this helps in saving cost, time, money and also creates a conducive environment with the inclusion of the right technology.
Early consideration of how space will be utilized and constructed will facilitate a design type that can serve multipurpose use. Thoughts about who will use the space, type of experience to create will help shape the design of the open space and the addition of audio-visual tools.
An Open Plan and Office Environment
In creating an open office out of public space, appropriate planning needs to be done. Noisy areas are grouped and enhanced with absorptive sound material to reduce reverberant sound, thereby creating a more comfortable and productive work environment. Although the final creation of this is beautiful, the process is not in any way easy, the environment must not be too noisy neither should it be too quiet.
It must also be designed appropriately to cater for the working condition of everyone. It should be able to create a free and convenient working environment for everyone.
Lobby and Reception area
These are common areas of any building faced with a large traffic of people, it can be designed to serve as a multi-purpose room as well as be a means of the information carrier.
Some of the ways this can be adopted are through:
- Virtual reception desk: This saves human resource as well as financial resource as a virtual medium saves cost.
- Led displays communicating information to the public: New piece of information or urgent information are passed across to the public with large boards.
- Digital signage for directions: With the use of digital you are not likely to get missing as they give adequate information about where each office or space is located in the building.
- Hotspot areas for some individuals to work: The lobby area can be easily converted to areas where people can hold collaborative meetings in comfortable spaces.
- Open presentation space: This large expanse of area, can be a place where mini-presentation involving less number of people are held.
Use of videos for information
Videos are used in transmitting information in the public space. It allows a new piece of information to be communicated to the entire organization and public in general and this is more efficient.
