This study is a bachelor thesis in the field of Information design with focus on Spatial design. The purpose of the study has been to investigate whether methods and theories in information design can be applied to develop an activity-based outdoor office, where activity-based zones promote and orientable environment such as communicate and inform activities and function. This with the help of spatial elements and its location. The study includes methodological work that includes a physical room analysis: site analysis, observation and notation analysis, semi-structured interview, one survey and workshops as well as test and evaluate the design. The methods are implemented to explore whether the site's design today communicates an activation-based outdoor office and investigate which spatial elements can be applied to different activity zones, to clarify the site's activities and functions. The methodological work thus examined what different spatial elements communicate for activity and why it does so. The study also finds out about the need for different activity zones and users' attitudes towards office work, in the outdoor environment. Based on the theory combined with collected data and empirical data, a design proposal for the development of co-working has been developed. The focus has been on spatial elements that inform and organize the place according to different activities. This benefits the orientability and understanding of the place, at the same time as office work in an outdoor environment contributes to a good work environment that promotes health.

This is a thesis in the field of information design with a spatial design focus. The purpose of the study has been to investigate how methods and theories in information design can be applied to communicate and inform activity zone functions in activity-based outdoor offices within the spatial form of the room.  The methodological work includes a physical site analysis, one survey, interviews and workshops, and a scenario-based evaluation. The methods conducted to examining users’ attitudes towards study-related work in an outdoor environment, analyze demands and needs of activity zones and investigate different spatial forms’ informative attributes, what they communicate and why. Together with support from collected empirical evidence and relevant theories, a design has been created that exemplifies an activity-based outdoor office for university students, focusing on the use of informative spatial forms. This to facilitate a correct use of space and to enable a good working environment. The idea is to create a spatial design that guides users with a communicative spatial form of the room towards the appropriate activity zone. / Denna studie är ett examensarbete inom informationsdesign med inriktning rumslig gestaltning. Syftet med studien har varit att undersöka huruvida metoder och teorier inom informationsdesign kan tillämpas för att aktivitetszoner i ett aktivitetsbaserat utomhuskontor ska kunna kommunicera och informera dess funktion med hjälp av rumsformer. Studien inkluderar ett metodiskt arbete som innefattar en fysisk platsanalys, enkätundersökning, semistrukturerade intervjuer och workshops samt en scenarioutvärdering. Metoderna genomfördes med syfte att undersöka användarnas attityder gentemot studierelaterat arbete i utomhusmiljö, efterfrågan och behov av aktivitetszoner, samt vad olika rumsformer kommunicerar och varför.Baserat på teori kombinerat med insamlade data och empiri, har ett gestaltningsförslag tagits fram som exemplifierar utformningen av ett aktivitetsbaserat utomhuskontor för högskolestudenter, med fokus på användningen av informativa rumsformer. Detta för att kontorsformen ska kunna brukas enligt korrekt syfte och därmed möjliggöra en god arbetsmiljö som både verkar funktionellt i den mening att de tillmötesgår användarbehoven, samtidigt som rumsformen ska vägleda användarna till sin plats i det nya rummet.
