The effect of physical work environment on creativity among artists’ residencies
The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of the physical environment characteristics on artists’ creativity.
Based on mixed-method of research the data was collected through questionnaires and interviews with 40 artists. The parameters of the physical environment characteristics included light, object design, color, window, the possibility of communication, flexibility and the existence of personal space.
The effect of these factors used simply and naturally on artists’ creativity was evaluated to be positive. It was found that if these factors were not present and only a simple, non-inspiring space was designed, the results would be simpler and less creative. It was suggested that designers need to design a space according to the artists’ individual and social needs and their perceptions.
This study is mostly limited to Iranian artists; however, it is a starting point for broader implications.
The main contribution of this research is providing environmental characteristics, which can assist in creating an appropriate workspace for artists.
