An inspiring guidebook filled with ways to alter space to fuel creative work and foster collaboration.

Based on the work at the Stanford University d.school and its Environments Collaborative Initiative, Make Space is a tool that shows how space can be intentionally manipulated to ignite creativity.

Situations--scenarios, and layouts for sparking creative activities

Insights--bite-sized lessons designed to shortcut your learning curve

Space Studies--candid stories with lessons on creating spaces for making, learning, imagining, and connecting

Design Template--a framework for understanding, planning, and building collaborative environments
