8. rethinking the workplace
“We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us.”
Winston Churchill

9. Because of traditional thinking, even modern office
buildings do not meet these requirements
 The office is everywhere
 Collaboration occurs across
multiple generations, cultures and
company borders
 The workplace can be a thriving
marketplace for knowledge
exchange, no longer just a place to
sit and work in
