Show full item recordAbstract
The workforce has been completely retooled yet they are still forced to operate and adapt to the same outdated environments. The multi-employee workplace has been in constant metamorphosis since its conception some three hundred years ago. These spaces have been in a continuous transformative state that now adapt to the public and private requirements of business. What were once a bevy of walled off spaces, where employees conducted business privately in the confines of their office, are now collaborative and contemporary spaces, with the sole intent to draw inspiration from personal interactions and the mood of its built environment. Rather than walls, a telephone, a computer and a desk, workspaces are now dynamic, activity-based settings to cater to different styles of work. Architecture and design have a direct impact on how employees operate and a business is run. By manipulating human interaction, work habits and the boundary between individual work and collaboration, companies are becoming more productive and more enjoyable places to work.
