If
you can set up your laptop anywhere, what is the meaning of the dedicated
workspace? New Work, New Workspace argues that designated space is still needed, but that it is
changing fast.
As
collaborative interaction is favoured over individual toil, with millenials and
Gen X taking a very different attitude to work, and as social upheaval and
technological innovation influence the form nthat
the places take in which we are employed forever. Metrics for measuring the
effectiveness of workspace show that good design, which is focused on the
environment and wellbeing that a workforce needs, is still valued. At the same
time, more generic spaces, such as co-working spaces, have to fit everyone - or
at least all of the target community.
Detailed
case studies showcase all the places where people work - in large and small
offices, in home spaces, in ateliers and workshops and architects' studios.
With emphasis on the design details of the space, especially the interior, this
is a must-have book providing inspiration for all types and scales of
workplace.
