Some designers say the ‘hardware’ of a campus is what makes it magnetic. For them, it’s about the architecture, spaces and settings that give form to a company’s aspirations and reflect the best of its people and location. Others would argue the secret’s in the ‘software’ - the less visible elements like programming and technology that make a campus dynamic, inspiring and often surprising. But the magic could come down to the mix. An irresistible environment with unmissable experiences.
These are the questions that fire up two of our design minds and frequent campus collaborators - Rob Backhouse, Head of Design here at Hassell, and Adam Scott, Executive Creative Director of experience master planners FreeState, part of our design family.
In this podcast - a rollicking ‘Creative Conversation’ like the ones we have around the table (and sometimes late into the night) - Rob and Adam share their insights on what’s next for large-scale workplaces. In the process, they also tell us what ‘Field of Dreams’, theatre productions and a shaman in a cave might teach us about a campus people can’t resist - post-COVID and beyond.
