Grappling with the Transient Nature of Work

Understanding workplace design and "today's rapid explosion of change," as advisor-architect Bob Fox observes, is "like juggling multiple objects -- like a chain saw, two flaming batons, and a half-dozen eggs (not in the box)."

Bob is principal-in-charge at FOX Architects, and is founding publisher of Workplace Design Magazine.

Check out Bob's "Member Viewpoint," a sweeping analysis of multiple workplace change factors that also cites findings from other experts like Teknion's Kay Sargent.

Bob's observations are consistent with some of the key outcomes of CoreNet Global's Corporate Real Estate 2020 research initiative. "Design today isn’t just about the space – it’s about the people," he stresses.  "Today, workers of all generations are looking for comfortable, flexible and productive work environments. That trend affects space organization, and it’s a major reason why so many organizations are moving to an unassigned and shared workplace."
