DocuScience: The Secret Life of Buildings - work

Did you know that we spend about 85% of our time indoors? It is therefore logical that buildings influence our behaviour. What impact does architecture have on how we feel in the workplace? Think of vitality and the club feeling of employees or innovation within working environments. On Tuesday 13 June, Erik van Eck, architect-director of Broekbakema and architect of the Omnia building on the WUR campus, will share everything you need to know about the hidden power of buildings.

This documentary was selected by Broekbakema, a Rotterdam architectural firm with an oeuvre spanning more than a hundred years. Maybe you know the work of Broekbakema from the Van Nelle Factory, the TU Delft Aula, Energy Academy in Groningen? With an inspiring DocuScience, Broekbakema wants to emphasize the 'social impact' of architecture for the health and well-being of its users. How do others shape their work environment and what can we learn from this?
