Abstract

[Our bodily experience of space and time is primarily con by the architecture around us. Through architecture we fuse our image of self with our experience in the world. It articulates our experience of being-in-the-world and shapes our bodily movement. Moreover in this new age of technological development we inhabit architectural spaces with both material and digital fabrications. The concept of space is both socially and materially constructed through our daily lives. One space in which we spend much of our adulthood is the office or workplace. Throughout history, designers and technocrats have planned workspaces and thereby (in)directly influenced our bodily movements during work hours. Their designs have tended to make our bodies stationary and passive in these social and architectural spaces. This chapter examines the intersection of moving bodies, Information Technology, and architectural spaces, asking how contemporary workspace design affects bodily movements in working hours. During our studies we have conceptualized “Moving Bodies” as an interactive element in office spaces, and we conclude the chapter by introducing a sensory ambient display designed for “Moving Bodies” in offices and exploring its impact on their social and architectural space.]
