the journey to experience design

 
The market wants us to think outside our black box
All these evolutionary/revolutionary thrusts are changing the way we humans experience space. We should offer clients some rigor: show that we philosophically understand this phenomenon; that we have an informed point of view about it; that we have designed tools and processes that speak to it and have incorporated those in our design practice. The market will want experience design to think outside the black box: show that this is navigate-able and understandable because we offered our clients an informed introduction to this evolving aspect of architectural design. There is an echo here to the intellectual rigor and open systems that Problem Seeking™ brought to the black box of facilities programming and space allocation.
Brandscape = Enterprise
Branding offers cues to action, marks to hit, and performance to give.
Workscape = Environment
Facilities and workplace visually position the desired experience — it is the stage and backdrop.
Mindscape = Experience
The adoption of a working dynamic depends on seeing and understanding the initiative, the investment, and the benefits offered.
We are now layering experience strategy — with systems, tools, process and playbook — atop what has traditionally been a somewhat insular and intuitive design process requiring a great deal of trust.
All these social movements and technological thrusts, their convergence packaged up here for the education of our client base (and our consultants and our colleagues) as to the real opportunities ahead. This investment will help us surge, lap, leapfrog the early competition — competitors that will be advancing on architectural experience design from diverse and non-traditional directions. We may want to partner readily, perhaps repeatedly, with external entities — and generously with internal expertise. We are advancing and facilitating historical humanistic desires. We are not jumping in to the latest buzz. We continue to be pioneers. The now desired convergence of space and story again evolves our offering, expands our boundaries.
