Hunch forward 向前弓起wedged shaped cushion楔形的垫子Although more attention is paid to design and ergonomics than ever before ,the combination of shapes based on new technologies, and confusion about natural posture, has resulted in new, experimental seats which have not been used and tested over long periods of time. Yet, these new seats are everywhere, in the home, in public transport, in public buildings. And these seats are contributing to the problem of poor posture and back trouble.

尽管现在比以前更重视设计和人机工程学,然而基于新技术的造型组合,对自然姿势的认识不清产生了新的,实验性的座椅,它们还没有经过长期的使用和检验.这些新的席位，到处都是，在家里，在公共运输方面，在公共建筑.这些座椅作出贡献的问题是不好的坐姿和后背的问题.

color circle 色圈color harmony 色彩调和

In the color sphere and color star, Itten attempted “to provide a clear and complete map of the world of color.” Finding that the 12-hue color circle was insufficient, he went on to develop the color star, a more complicated way of looking at hues and their interactions with one another. But for all his work trying to explain color, the essential mystery of color and its influence on its human cohabitants of the world eluded Itten, and he admitted this.

依顿试图在他的色彩领域和色彩星系方面提供一个清晰的、完全的色彩世界图。发现12色

调色圈是不足的，他继续发展色彩星系，用一种更为复杂的方式看色调以及色调与色调间的交感。他承认，如果不是他尽所有努力去诠释色彩，那么色彩基本的神秘和它对世界上人类同居者的影响将使人无法理解依顿.

人机工程学的几种说法:Ergonomics, human engineering, human factors engineering, user-centred design, inclusive design.

人机工程学的解释:Ergonomics is about ensuring a good fit between people, the things they do, the objects they use and the environments in which they work, travel and play.

人机工程学要确保人与操作对象,使用的工具以及他们的工作,休闲的环境的良好协调性.

人机工程学研究的三个领域:Physical ergonomics(物理人机)Psychological ergonomics(心理工效学)Organizational ergonomics(组织工效学)

1.什么是innovative workplace? The innovative workplace responds to a growing recognition

within employing companies that the physical working environment can have a profound effect on an organization’s culture and on the individual’s performance. 创意工作室是公司越来越意识到物理工作环境对组织的文化和个人绩效有深远的影响,而做出的反应!

2.设计innovative workplace存在哪些困难? Office design has many different, interrelated

elements, including spatial layout, lighting, furniture specification, material finishes, technology services and catering provision. First, design innovative workplace must reconcile the needs of the organization with those of the individual. Traditionally, office managers have been in charge, and employees have had little say over their environment. But does this bring out the best in people? Second, innovative workplaces must balance the need of fixed real estate against the reality of increasingly flexible and fluid work patterns. In the mix of office-based, mobile and home working, how can innovation be managed? Third, innovative workplace with public or social space. How much of the office space should be private, privileged or public and therefore open to all-comers? The fourth conflict to resolve is architecture versus design. How much of the workplace investment should go into the bricks and mortar of the building shell, and how much into less permanent interior setting and flexible leases? Finally, organizations need to look at the image of their workplace. Does it suggest an automaton or can it express more human value? All of these conflicts resonate in the practice of designing innovative workplaces.
