The future of workspace design
Workplaces today are more versatile than ever — thanks to evolving technologies and changing work cultures. In today’s Mid-day Extra we take a look at the future of workplace design.
Kelly Bacon, director of business development and workplace strategy at TPG Architecture in New York, says what today’s office spaces need to provide is choice. “People go in and out of work modes throughout the day” she says. “As people shift in and out of these modes, their environment needs to allow that. Employers need to provide different space types.”
Bacon says that some of the trends she sees in workplace design include a move away from individual space toward collaborative space and densification — putting more people into smaller spaces.
