A visual timeline of the past and future of the office spanning architecture, furniture, floor plans, computers, the dreaded cubicle and flexible work.
Architectural and interior design firms are reimagining the physical workplace to accommodate the hybrid approach to work that was accelerated by the pandemic. There are reconfigured meeting rooms with conferencing technology, amenities and aesthetics that resemble those at fashionable hotels and coffee shops, and seating layouts based not on head count, but on how often each worker comes in.
“It pioneered the Americanization of the international style, which became the symbol of progress and modernity for corporations,” said Paula Lupkin, a professor at the University of North Texas who studies the impact of capitalism on interiors. “There is absolutely no question that there will be a revolution in the office over the next 20 years,” said George Pake, who headed Xerox PARC, in aabout the future of the office. “What we are doing will change the office like the jet plane revolutionized travel and the way that TV has altered family life.”
In response to these concerns, companies and designers began experimenting with novel office layouts, forming the roots of an array of models that have taken on prominence during the pandemic era — including a movement away from single, static workstations and the advent of hotel-ing and hot desk-ing, where workers reserve space as needed and use flexible workstations.
