Vad säger rumsformen? : En studie om hur rumsformer kan kommunicera olika aktivitetszoner i ett aktivitetsbaserat utomhuskontor för högskolestudenter

Sammanfattning: This is a thesis in the field of information design with a spatial design focus. The purpose of the study has been to investigate how methods and theories in information design can be applied to communicate and inform activity zone functions in activity-based outdoor offices within the spatial form of the room.  The methodological work includes a physical site analysis, one survey, interviews and workshops, and a scenario-based evaluation. The methods conducted to examining users’ attitudes towards study-related work in an outdoor environment, analyze demands and needs of activity zones and investigate different spatial forms’ informative attributes, what they communicate and why. Together with support from collected empirical evidence and relevant theories, a design has been created that exemplifies an activity-based outdoor office for university students, focusing on the use of informative spatial forms. This to facilitate a correct use of space and to enable a good working environment. The idea is to create a spatial design that guides users with a communicative spatial form of the room towards the appropriate activity zone.
