A way of doing things and being together, of course.

In the current times of workplace archipelagoisation

— alternating between home of fice, corporate

premises, coworking spaces and other random

locations —, there is one function only the of fice

can fulf il: bringing collaborators together at a single

time, in a single place and around a single focus.

Now more than ever, the responsibility of workplaces

Foster human synergy

is to foster human synergy (from the ancient Greek

sun, meaning together, and ergasia, meaning work).

Creating the conditions for 1+1=3. In an environment

incorporating spaces of all conf igurations and sizes

for people to come together, the layout should also

facilitate interactions and collaboration through

appropriate designs for communal areas and

circulations.
