How do organizations in creative industries renew creative work for business innovation? What challenges do they experience in the process? Drawing on an eight-month ethnography in an architectural practice, this article suggests that renewal of creative work takes place in two main trading zones: a creative business trading zone of managers and architects trading with the conception of architectural practice as a business, and a creative process trading zone of architects and process facilitators trading with the process of architectural design. We show how resolving challenges within and moving across trading zones enables managers and architects to renew the architectural design process and establish renewal as a business innovation. The study advances the understanding of innovation in creative industries by proposing trading zones as arenas for negotiating art-business tensions and ‘tools’ for renewing creative work, to make way for business innovation while preserving the autonomy of the creative professionals.

为商业创新更新创意工作：交易区的建筑实践

创意产业的组织如何为商业创新更新创意工作？他们在这个过程中遇到了哪些挑战？本文借鉴建筑实践中为期八个月的民族志，建议创意工作的更新发生在两个主要交易区：经理和建筑师的创意商业交易区，以建筑实践作为业务的概念进行交易，以及建筑师和过程促进者与建筑设计过程进行交易的创意过程交易区。我们展示了如何在贸易区内解决挑战并在贸易区内移动，使管理人员和架构师能够更新架构设计流程，并将更新确立为一项业务创新。
