Death to the Cubicle!
Linda Tischler:
The solution [to the problems cubicles cause], Tompkin says, is to customize space to various types of work. Give those who need uninterrupted time a quiet place to work and those who need to collaborate a more social space. That may mean a glass-walled office for heads-down work, and a variety of gathering places for group work. “As the workforce becomes more mobile,” Tompkin says, “the office will be the main tool companies use to build a shared culture.”
I like the idea of different spaces in the office for different types of work. However, that pangs of not having an assigned work area and I think that has potential to quickly devolve into chaos.
