Virtual Scientific Research. Architectural Innovation

Abstract

he scientific complexes include premises for conducting theoretical and virtual research. Their successful functioning directly depends on the rational organization of their space and the creation of optimal conditions for creativity. When creating such facilities, increased requirements are placed on the organization of workplaces; quality of social and information infrastructure; ensuring comfort and comprehensive safety of the work process; providing conditions for frequent transformation and modernization of space and equipment. Virtual studies are conducted in facilities of varying sizes - from large headquarters buildings to small startups and co-working spaces. For such spaces, all approaches to process safety, sustainable development, efficient operation, and the use of passive energy design strategies are widely applied. However, a number of negative aspects of virtual activity - monotony of work, unification and depersonalization of the workspace, often leading to fatigue and burnout of employees - are also a problem for the search for architectural solutions. These examples show how architects are finding ways to overcome this problem, using a number of techniques that reduce the monotony of the work environment and have a beneficial effect on the health and creativity of employees.
