Designing the Future of Modern Work Spaces: Building a High-Performance Environment to Empower Human Collaboration

Despite 'Open-Plan' workspace having its stimulating collaboration and teamwork, it has many issues that trouble employees daily. Through the team鈥檚 research and analysis, we found out that noisy environments, lack of privacy, personalization, and health concerns are some of the major issues in an 'Open-Plan' workspace, and that workers of different job functions have different levels of dissatisfaction for 'Open-Plan' workspaces. Our design idea is a private/quiet space lookup system with real-time updates on the office spaces鈥 condition so that the workers can navigate within the office accurately based on their needs for privacy or quietness.
