Creativity and innovation has been discussed in the context of differing spatial dimensions; national, regional; from the perspective of localised clusters of innovation within places, and at the dimension of face-to-face contact (physical co-proximity). Creativity within an organisational context can be greatly influenced by the characteristics of the physical environment in which each stage of the creativity process is undertaken, whether this is providing the personal, private space for individual contemplation or working with others for elaboration and evaluation (facilitating physical co-proximity). The design and layout of the space in which this work is undertaken can be a key enabler or constraint of creative working and therefore creativity itself. Rather oddly, in an increasingly micro-level focus on space in the creativity and innovation literature, the most micro-level dimension (office space) has not been thoroughly examined through a synthesis between the facilities management literature and the innovation and creativity literature. The most micro-level physical space or environment for knowledge work is most often in the form of an office that is furnished with desks, chairs (workstations) and meeting rooms. Though the design and the allocation of this space can vary across organisations, for the purpose of this chapter, this most fundamental definition of the physical space will be referred to as 'workspace'. The Hawthorne experiments in the 1930s 1 were one of the first studies to identify the role of the workspace on creativity, innovation and work performance, and has since been studied in a range of fields including environmental psychology, ergonomics, architecture, sociology and human resource management. Organisations are increasingly regarding their workspace as a core element of their innovation strategy. For high tech companies, this is clearly evident when seeing images of the offices at Google or Facebook or watching the film The Internship to see the use they make of the physical environment to support creativity such as using chalet lifts for meeting spaces and providing bean bags and hammocks for individual work − using unusual design to stimulate creative thinking and dialogue.
