In contrast to a conventional office space where all formal areas are given prime importance over the informal ones the innovation centre for Idemia by Chakor Studio does the complete opposite.
SPARKING INNOVATION THROUGH SPATIAL DESIGN

Headquartered in France, the Idemia group is known for working with cutting edge technologies in the domains of biometrics and identity recognition. The technologies are already being used in urban infrastructure projects, airports, banks and it also has retail applications. With this background, Idemia Group also works with many upcoming tech-based startups and companies that work on innovative technologies and products that will eventually pave way in future applications. The innovation centre in their Noida headquarters is visualised as a co-working shared space where such tech startups can be incubated, mentored and work in collaboration with Idemia.

In contrast to a conventional office space where all formal areas are given prime importance over the informal ones – the innovation centre does the complete opposite!

An open cafeteria designed on minimalistic lines is the first thing that an individual encounters the moment one enters the office space. The main reason behind this design decision is to enforce the idea that any kind of collaboration actually starts to take shape in spaces that have informal characteristics.

Conventionally, people are forced to work in structured formats, where spontaneity is generally lost and with that the possibility of innovative ideas. For individuals to work in a collaborative manner, it is crucial that the spatial planning and design supports the same. So it becomes essential that there are in-numerous possibilities where people can connect and spark up discussions.
