The second digital revolution, the financial breakdown and then the pandemic, made smart working a well-spreaded phenomenon where work and living space. Compasses in this new journey, follows the workspaces evolution, focusing on the most interesting solutions raised from the pandemic and trying to understand where the transition from workplace to worksphere will produce in an early future.
Is the workspace, meant as a material and institutional space, doomed to die? After decades of working architecture history that lead to disruptive masterpieces both conceptually and structurally, are office buildings out-of-date and out-of-trend? Workspace in evolution is the n.36 of compasses that tells you about the present, the past and the future of workspaces.
Even if it is indisputably clear that human and social interactions could never be completely substituted by virtual ones, it is just as clear that “working” will never be the same. As an obvious consequence of these changes, whose repercussions will be probably unveiled only in a couple of years, the design of workplaces will now face a new challenge, dealing both with the rapid digitalization and with a more pressing need of insulation and protection. A new kind of safety is then required, demanding for wider spaces, properly dimensioned to keep the exact distance between protection and social interaction. However, many buildings inaugurated this year, and so conceived before the pandemic, will now face a whole new set of requirements, that were probably not considered during the design phase.
