A moment of respite : finding opportunities to help the workforce recent and readjust the mood

Abstract

People are often affected by situations in their daily life and the proportion of mental problems generally increases in society. In the past twenty years, the global population has been increasing at an amazing speed. An increasing number of people are seeking opportunities for a better life, so they decide to migrate into high-density cities for life and work, with more than half of the world’s population currently living in urban areas. People who live in cities are more likely to have mood or anxiety disorders. Living in a speed-driven workplace environment allows people to enjoy efficiency as well as to suffer from physical and mental health issues like pressure and anxiety. In the workplace, employees are trying to adapt to their working environment and at the same time, they are inhibiting their own emotions. Emotion affects productivity and working efficiency. If the surrounding is a high-pressure environment that creates noise and a bad mood, people find it hard to balance between the inner status and the surrounding. The author’s proposal for this issue is to intervene with the breathing space in the working district by designing a seating unit that is fully enclosed to help people alleviate their anxiety before it accumulates to a certain disorder level
