Scientists have been uncovering links between physical location and the creative mind for over two decades. My Creative Space, written by a well-known architect, is the first book to translate this wealth of psychological research into practical strategies for structuring your house for optimum creativity.
Here’s a sampling of the techniques you’ll learn about:
- Which colors lead to peak creative performance
- How furnishings influence mental processing
- Optimal lighting and noise levels for achieving breakthrough insights
- Pros and cons of messy versus neat environments
- How memorabilia can break creative logjams
- Why ceiling height matters
- Which home-based activities enhance creative problem solving
- And more
Illustrating the book’s 48 techniques are over 200 high-quality photos of creative workspaces and home interiors from around the world, many the work of top-tier architects, designers, and at-home creatives.
Whether you pursue creativity for pleasure or profit, work from home part- or full-time, whether you’re a writer, entrepreneur, creative professional, artist, crafter, or simply enjoy being inventive, this book will help you do it better. No prior expertise in design or psychology required!
