During college, my roommate used Dr. House as her subject for a long psychology paper- and in the process we watched every single episode at least once. So, taking a page from her book- I decided to use Dr. House as inspiration for the design of my new studio project, an office!
If you've ever seen an episode of House you know that there are two factors that are always present in his problem solving process. The first is the use of a dry erase board to brainstorm ideas. In a recent episode, House even found a way to turn a glass curtain wall into a dry erase board- flexible, dynamic brainstorming at its best.
The other factor that is always present in House's problem solving, is seeking inspiration throughout the hospital. In almost every episode Dr. House ends up observing someone in the hospital and then bam, inspiration hits when he realizes that someones toupee has reminded him of a novel genetic disorder.
Even out of the hospital context I think that these problem solving strategies are something that could be useful to think about in designing an office for any discipline. Brainstorming in a way that puts all the possibilities visually in front of you, and in front of your peers for input- and seeking inspiration through novel stimuli, are ideas applicable to a wide range of businesses.
