An incredibly important read on inclusive workplace design

"Inclusivity begins with the basics of workplace design. (...) Before you talk about “next-gen workplace experience,” ask yourself: can everyone see, hear, move, breathe and focus here without struggle?"

We also heard the latest thinking on new developments in workplaceDesign and place making - are offices now obsolete? How to make hybrid work? Why are some settings never used? How do third spaces interact with the city? How to spread research knowledge in practice?

In our session today, we discussed office buildings together with my long-term collaborator, friend and ex-colleague Rosie Haslem
Another brilliant and engaging session on architectural research in practice, differences between academic and practice-led research as well as various research tools

For all the German speakers in my network: this wonderful and entertaining podcast by ZEIT Wissen takes my research on workplace environments and makes it personal by walking through their own offices, assessing them and checking in with staff on how they feel

The big question: which office form is best? Single offices, shared or open-plan? Assigned desks or activity based working?

Must listen! 👏🏻

New blog post taking up the theme of my most popular post from 2014 (which asked how sociable your office was) - I reflect on office sociality based on new research evidence & insights from the Covid-19 pandemic

The Scottish Office Interior Design and Fit Out company @amosbeech launched a new page on their website about office interior design ideas & inspiration. It contains a lot of interior photographs, most of which have been taken by me! (only 4 were taken by somebody else, if I saw that correctly)
It's a great page to browse through, so have a look:

@bwaber @daniel
Thanks for sharing Daniel. As a case study of #HybridWork and #workplaceDesign I find this really interesting.
In its bold approach it reminds me of the Dropbox Dublin office which has no desks at all and "only" provides collaboration spaces to suit the 'virtual first' culture.
Any other extreme examples?
Would you know anyone practicing a co-working shared solution, Ben?
I just imagine that the logistics behind that must be nightmarish.

The short paper 'The Hybrid Office How-To' featured in the Guardian article was first presented at the 2022 Transdisciplinary Workplace Research Conference #TWR2022 and is available here:

I'm researching hybrid work strategies right now and what that means for #OfficeDesign #workplaceDesign
