The In-Betweenness: Work Space of the Future

Abstract

Individuals spend so many hours every day in their work spaces of different kinds. Different people have different needs in term of the quality of the space in which they are working. As a result it's important to provide a variety of spaces for people to be able to choose from and spend their work day in that space, or choose to transition in between spaces with different qualities during the day. This can positively affect employees' efficiency, productivity and even mental health. The main idea here is to design different spaces with different degrees of openness. These spaces start from being completely closed to completely open and just being defining by a single wall, roof or floor. And it also include every other degree of openness between these two states and having different combinations of walls, roofs and floors.
