Martin believed that architecture should be a catalyst for change in innovative environments, and his methodology &#8211; called WORKVITAMINS &#8211; was based on this idea. But designing innovative and inspirational spaces from the inside out is not an easy task: descriptors such as\u00a0<em>poet, artist\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0<em>great lover\u00a0<\/em>must be earned by the one being described, and the title of <strong>innovative workspace<\/strong> is no different. Therefore, Martin crafted a closed-loop system with four distinct steps:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Initiate:<\/strong> setting the tone and direction for the project using a <strong>Shared Workplace Vision,<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Analyse:<\/strong> Understanding the specific place-related needs of the organisation. Finding the<strong> gaps<\/strong> between an organisation&#8217;s ideal conditions and its current situation,<\/p>\n<p><strong>Change:<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Testing creative ideas<\/strong> to address the issues discovered during the analysis,<\/p>\n<p><strong>Implement:<\/strong> the realisation of steps 1 through 3 and the design and construction of a <strong>truly innovative workplace.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Architecture is space created for human activity. The role of an architect designing a workspace is to provide the users with a variety of spatial choices that will accommodate their changing work needs. Architecture that starts with WorkVitamins encourages authentic experiences at work.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2001, Martin van der Linden developed a new architectural methodology while working as an assistant researcher at Tokyo&#8217;s Waseda Univeristy.
