[.en] 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.
