Physical proximity and face-to-face communication foster learning and knowledge transfer in enterprises (Nonaka and Takeuchi, 1995;Cook and Brown, 1999) as well as in universities (Cox, 2018;Thoring et al, 2018). A learning environment is characterized by the particular quality of the current learning situation in terms of time, space, and social and cultural context.…”

“…Flexibility in terms of adaptive as well as agile working places is outlined as a crucial component of the spatial setting. Thoring et al (2018) presented a typology of creative-learning spaces with regard to the working and learning processes of designers. Based on an extensive literature review, they distinguished among five types of creative spaces: (1) personal space for working alone, (2) collaboration space for working together with others, (3) presentation space for giving presentations, (4) making space in which people experiment and try things out, and (5) an intermission space for transition and recreation (e.g., cafeterias).…”

In the last decade, design thinking has been discussed as a new paradigm for dealing with complex business problems. The implementation of design thinking is linked with substantial changes in the organizational culture, and becomes visible in new approaches to designing office and learning spaces. To analyze proponents’ perspectives on the implementation process, we adapted Schein’s (1990, 2017) approach of different layers of an organizational culture. In general, two layers in an organization are addressed, namely visible artifacts and behaviors, as well as basic principles to think about approaches to deal with business problems (mindset). In total, eight semi-structured expert interviews were conducted with proponents to learn more about the implementation of design thinking and the architecture of related office spaces. The findings suggest that design thinking addresses both aspects—the provision and inner design of physical space as well as a change of mindset.

“…However, the relationship of workspace design and organizational culture is not yet fully understood. On the one hand, the workspace can express a specific, "innovative" corporate culture, but at the same time, the space can also provide inspiration, facilitate innovation processes, and hence impact the innovation culture itself [12,19]. Companies might not be aware of a possible mismatch between their intended or "lived" culture and the appearance of their work environment.…”

The design of the workspace can be an indicator for an organization's innovation culture. This paper introduces a canvas-based collaboration tool that facilitates both, team-based analysis of existing workspaces regarding the expressed culture, and cocreating spatial design ideas with the goal to instigate a cultural change. This two-way approach is also reflected in the canvas design. We describe the development process of the canvas and its evaluation through a workshop. As a result, the contribution of this paper is twofold: (1) It informs practitioners about the relevance of spatial workspace design for cultural change, and (2) it provides insights on an atypical canvas design.

“…Based on research on the use of environment-based learning with cultural probes in design institutions, it is found that this typology identifies five types of creativity along with five related spatial qualities. There are various aspects of students' creativity that can be developed so that the potential of each of them can be more optimized [8].…”

Education in the 21st Century requires skill and creativity to support student learning. Learning does not only focus on the one that is conducted in classrooms, but it also can be conducted in the outside of the class as an alternative learning. The objective of this study is to investigate the role of the field study on Geography subject because of the innovation of learning in the 21st century. This is qualitative study which employed descriptive statistics as the statistical method. The data that were collected through interviews. The results of the study show that innovation in learning makes students more creative and develops students' skills. Field studies may be used by Geography teachers as environment-based learning supports since Geography laboratories are the nature indicating the importance of field studies for Geography education.
