Abstract

Today, lots of companies work on the quality and the image of the workspace b as that has a real impact on the quality of their productions. Generally, this consideration involves the redevelopment of a space favourable for the well-being and the communication between users. However, this work on space is still too often treated as a fad and thus summarized to an imitation of the mythic groups communicating on their actions.

The objective of this project is to implement a reasoned approach of participatory design to involve users in the design of a space lead to the practice of innovation.
