Anyone who suggested that “Open Landscape” should become a new national anthem should never have been in a modern office. The idea of cramming as many employees onto a soft surface on an ever-smaller desk (mine has been reduced two feet and all drawers) was ugly even before the pandemic. Damn, Uffe, how could you?
No matter how many sturdy contracted plants try to say “this is a nice office”, the trend today is seen not only as the shortcut for savings consultants that it has always been, but also as an experimental environment without walls for the development of virus.
Don’t get me wrong, I love my co-workers. But as with a lot of other things you love (80s industrial synths, wild nights on the town, Pokémon), sometimes you need a break. “It’s not that I don’t like people,” said another musical hero, David Sylvian, “just that I feel so much better when no one is around.”
Then I hope the post-pandemic era makes walls in fashion again. I really like the walls. There you can have pictures, and doors, and unfortunately the lack of walls does not mean that you cannot enter any.
Even in private I’m weak for them, but it seems like I’m pretty lonely about it, at least if you can believe Hemnet – damn, in my little box, what people hate partitions and original ideas from architects. If you find a recently renovated 1930s tree, you should be glad if there is some broken plaster left around the toilet seat.
But perhaps the conditions now exist for a rebirth of the wall. When more people work at home, office space prices drop and no one believes right Really that cruise congestion and peer cacophony are good for those who want to focus on their work tasks, and if you don’t want to, it’s a desktop solution.
A study of open office landscapes recently found that “human interactions [minskade] remarkable (about 70%). Rather than creating ever-increasing face-to-face cooperation, the natural human reaction seemed to be to withdraw. “
Then it’s high It’s time for someone to walk Virginia Woolf through all the office architecture. Give the middle manager his own room, that’s my motto. So, dear readers, let’s sing together:
I thrive worse in open landscapes.
I want four walls
some shelves and your own chair –
so that the work is good.
