“Built space can literally change the way we humans think, feel, and act, including our ability to be creative”

Evidence-based design is the art of optimizing a physical space using scientific research for the best possible arrangement. Award-winning architect and author Donald Rattner has written two books on the subject, including the bestseller My Creative Space: How to Design Your Home to Stimulate Ideas and Spark Innovation, and his work has been featured on CNN, as well as in numerous publications like The New York Times.

In this online course, learn to combine scientific research with design to build creative work environments. Donald teaches you how to optimize the visual, physical, and ambient features of any space to drive innovation, collaboration, and out-of-the box thinking.
