Hello 2021, Goodbye 2020
A lot has been written about what will happen to the office in the future over the last few months.
Will there be more people working from home in the future? Probably. Will many people willingly go back to the office? Definitely.
As one of the go-to destinations for learning about global office design trends, we’ve wrestled trying to figure out how to visually display real-world examples of Post-COVID office design.
Other than receiving only a handful of built projects to publish so far, many fixes and adjustments such as increased airflow, social distancing, improved sanitization, reduced capacity, and not coming to work when sick are either totally unseen or are practices which depend on people and their companies rather than design itself.
While I am generally unconvinced that the office is going to disappear (or even drastically change), 2020 does seem destined to be an important inflection point for office designers worldwide.
We will continue publish new and interesting projects in order to help you navigate this new world however it ends up looking.
Happy 2021!
