5.) Creating places vs filling spaces
Openspace offices are more common than ever.
The advantages of space compression and reduced footprints encounter the challenge of making these spaces work in terms of efficiency, well- being and balance between private workspace and shared spaces. Often spaces are filled with furniture without providing the right settings and feeling of space.
