Can Post Occupancy Evaluation be done on Instagram?

Can Post Occupancy Evaluation be done on Instagram?

That’s what we are trying to find out at Bristol Business School as we launch My UWE BBS View, a Post Occupancy Evaluation research project with UWE Bristol, ISG and Godfrey Syrett.

We are inviting anybody that uses the building to post a photo to Instagram or Twitter and give us their feedback. It’s open to all; staff, students, services and visitors.

If you are in Bristol Business School, show us how you are using it and how you feel about it. Leave a comment with your feedback and tag #myUWEBBSview. Photos will then appear on the My UWE BBS View website.

The aim is to learn more about people’s personal, emotional and sensory experiences of the building by using visual methods. How do they compare to the original design intent?

For example, Bristol Business School’s ethos is to be transparent, collaborative and flexible. Has this impacted on the way people work and study? Is it happening as predicted? Has it been understood differently by users? What can we learn from this project to help us design better buildings?

Importantly, can all of these questions be answered using social media? Let’s find out.

The project kicks launches today and will run for one year.
