Abstract

Because working spaces are now designed to supposedly foster creativity, we aimed at quantifying the effect of the physical environment on people conducting creative activities. Our experimental approach consisted in (1) designing a "creative space" (2) asking group of participants to conduct brainstorming sessions in a "normal" room (control condition) and in the "creative space" (3) assessing the creative performances and the subjective perception of the participants. The results show a higher "originality" score of generated ideas and a better perception, for the "creative space" condition.

Keywords: creativity, working space, experimental evaluation
