How Peripheral Workplace Scenes Affect Creativity and Ethical Behavior

As AI continues to reshape how and where people work, human creativity, ethical reasoning, and collaboration are becoming increasingly valuable. This research seeks to understand how peripheral workplace views influence these outcomes during AI-supported work and to identify design strategies that better support human performance in evolving workplace environments.

About the ONEder Grant

The ONEder Grant Program supports new or evolving research into how design influences the human experience. By empowering architects and designers to explore the impact of design on environments that shape us, we help to uncover new perspectives on engagement, technology, design, wellness, network science and ESG applied to the workplace.
