That model made sense when headcount was relatively predictable and teams worked together five days a week. It makes far less sense now. Hybrid work has made attendance patterns fluid, while teams can grow, shrink and reorganise within a single planning cycle. A floor plan fixed on paper is increasingly being asked to serve requirements that refuse to stay still.
This is why the next phase of workspace design will look different. Physical design will remain central, but it will increasingly be combined with code, data and computational intelligence. This is less about a programming language than a fundamental change in design philosophy: from creating a...
