Re-mapping the work habitat with superposed spatial formations.
Following the global seismic effects of the pandemic trauma, the coming era will define altering ways of working that will be the harbinger of a new work culture.
Having this in mind, can we re-map the work habitat with novel questions, such as where the ambiguity can lead us? How can we create social spaces to collaborate and concentrate in a new organizational format? What defines a work habitat as the new work styles are boundless? What unique qualities do we need to seek in the new work habitat?
We suggest rethinking the modernistic definition of spaces with their mono-functional references. Still, we try to find the hidden connections between different spatial functions, such as living, learning, healing, social, and workspaces. As much as such spaces differ, they also have critical commonalities. How can we seek similar differences and different similarities between these seemingly unrelated spaces and create a new mapping approach in an entangled perception where they are seen superposed?
Following such a brief, we can address some solutions that address multi-use scenarios that overlap, which may seem irrelevant in the first instance Suppose we reject following the briefs of the existing patterns to come up with answers as designs for the workplace, hospitality, health centers, schools, or even homes, Instead, we can address people's daily routines or behavioral patterns in different occasions or scenarios and find answers to support them In every other condition or space.
The critical advantage of prioritizing the scenario-based brief to a product or place-based one is that it can also be fluid and adapt to constant changes. This is the essential mark of our century, as Baumann has beautifully described in one of his works, Liquid Modernity
In this booklet, we also wish to combine many choices around a scenario-based critique of multiple spaces that easily overlap. This is the sole reason we will not name it the office or workplace, but we are more inclined to call it space where we all perform. If we accept the delicate metaphor 'All the world is a stage we can easily name all the spaces designated with alternative functions as a giant space, not concentrating on the name and operation of this space. Still, more so on the inhabitants of it, that is us, the actresses and the actors.
