  6. Want to make everyone else in your #OpenPlan office hate you? Be a group of 3-4 who have decided to all cluster around one person's computer to have a video call with someone. So that you need to speak out loud for the remote person to hear you, and you've got the computer's speakers up so you can all hear that person.

    So that *all of us* can — and *must* — hear all of you.😠

    Seriously. Get a room. One of those little rooms that are *just for this purpose*.

  11. The Inter-University Seminar House in Hachioji, Tokyo, by Takamasa Yoshizaka, was completed in 1965. This iconic complex merges modernist principles with traditional Japanese aesthetics, creating a space that fosters academic exchange and collaboration.

  16. 80% of #neurodivergent people are (like me) #underemployed or #unemployed. Traditional #interview processes, #openplan offices and the need to comply with social expectations stop us gaining and retaining gainful employment. We are #DisabledByDesign, #disabled by majority *choice*.

    But valuing us only for our economic output, or adding "new skillsets" and "#inspiration to a workplace" is not #inclusion. It is dehumanizing.

  23. I know I can be a pill about cube farms and open-plan offices. I admit: there is no one-size-fits-all solution for work.

    I’m sure that open-plan offices have improved creativity and collaboration in many places, such as in the imaginations of executives who implement them.

  28. *Sitting in an open plan office which has been pretty quiet all day (it usually is on Mondays)*

    Me: *Switches to Outlook to write a somewhat complicated email*

    Half the people around me: *Stand up and start talking with each other*

    Me: 😑… and then 🎧ON

    “You #design better for the #center when you learn from the #margins,” says Magda Mostafa of the American University in Cairo, an architect who focuses on design for #autism.

  36. When my company moved us from private offices to an #OpenPlan, they surveyed us about our workflow and needs. Then we discovered they’d already built out the space; the consultation process was a sham. This is common, as I write in #ScientificAmerican. A major insight from #InclusiveDesign, #DisabilityRights, and #DeafSpace is that people should be meaningfully involved in designing their physical environment. scientificamerican.com/article

  41. Would love to hear from scientists or other academics who currently work in large #openPlan offices with #hotdesking (+ only 70% of the desk space needed means lockers + absolutely no items left on desk overnight).

    How do you make it work? The combination of focused work, close collaboration with some colleagues and lots of online meetings with externals?

    What do I need to do now to prepare?

    (Also open to job offers...)

    Regards: a depressed scientist who has just seen the future #office.

  46. @marie_ahoi thanks for the tag! I love your description. One of the few accounts I know of someone enjoying an #openPlan #OfficeDesign in academia. Is disruption / noise an issue at all? Where do people go who need to concentrate?

  51. And yet employers keep on fitting out their office space with the work-killing, misery-fostering #OpenPlan layout.

    Everyone hates open offices. Here’s why they still exist

  52. If you are an employer who needs your workers to focus for long periods uninterrupted in order to get their work done, it's *your obligation* to provide that.

    Don't treat “we let you work from home!” like it's some perk. No, that's the worker subsidising you for your shitty cheapskate #OpenPlan office layout that is fundamentally hostile to focus.

    When your workers try working but can't because their neighbour is playing the trumpet social.chinwag.org/@Funkpirata that is *on you*, employer.
