This is the fourth of several posts explaining how we are looking to nature's principles (Life's Principles) to develop new ways of thinking about our workplace:
The whole is greater than the sum of its parts – design for swarm. Design lots of little, simple things that together can do sophisticated things. Design for “swarm” (individual bee has a small brain and simple behavior, but a swarm of bee is like an organism all it’s own).
Examples from nature:
Bees, bats, birds and fish all move in fluid groups designed to move over, under and around objects over thousands of miles. They form infinite patterns to be flexible and accommodate movement.
Workplace Implications:
- Organizations change constantly in the workplace. Any assumptions made early on the design process are out of date by the time space is ready for occupancy. One way to avoid this, and design for the organice movement of people, is to use a simple kit of parts that can easily be assembled and reassembled (space types, furniture, etc.)
- Don’t make large financial investments in a single specialized space
