Purpose

The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of the physical environment characteristics on artists’ creativity.

Design/methodology/approach

Based on mixed-method of research the data was collected through questionnaires and interviews with 40 artists. The parameters of the physical environment characteristics included light, object design, color, window, the possibility of communication, flexibility and the existence of personal space.

Findings

The effect of these factors used simply and naturally on artists’ creativity was evaluated to be positive. It was found that if these factors were not present and only a simple, non-inspiring space was designed, the results would be simpler and less creative. It was suggested that designers need to design a space according to the artists’ individual and social needs and their perceptions.

Research limitations/implications

This study is mostly limited to Iranian artists; however, it is a starting point for broader implications.

Originality/value

The main contribution of this research is providing environmental characteristics, which can assist in creating an appropriate workspace for artists.

实体工作环境对艺术家驻留地创造力的影响

目的

本研究的目的是调查物理环境特征对艺术家创造力的作用。

设计/方法/方法

基于混合研究方法，数据是通过问卷调查和对 40 位艺术家的采访收集的。物理环境特征的参数包括光线、物体设计、颜色、窗户、交流的可能性、灵活性和个人空间的存在。

发现

简单而自然地使用这些因素对艺术家创造力的影响被评估为积极的。结果发现，如果不存在这些因素，而只设计一个简单的、没有灵感的空间，结果会更简单，创意也会更少。建议设计师需要根据艺术家的个人和社会需求及其感知来设计空间。

研究限制/影响

这项研究主要限于伊朗艺术家；然而，它是产生更广泛影响的起点。

原创性/价值

这项研究的主要贡献是提供环境特征，这有助于为艺术家创造一个合适的工作空间。
