Hybrid Times: the ductile Office as a solution?

"Innovating Workscapes: How Hybrid Commons and Fluid Design Catalyse Connection, Identity and Success".

In a time when the office is breaking down its boundaries and expanding into urban spaces, the workplace is undergoing a remarkable transformation. Work is no longer confined to traditional offices or home offices, but is increasingly taking place in a variety of environments known as 'third places'. This development involves the merging of private and professional life and is leading to hybridization on various levels.

They not only design physical spaces, but also the social and cultural structure of our working environments. This lecture will highlight future trends and discuss how the working landscape needs to evolve to meet new demands.
