A New Way of thinking...

On the 27th of February I got the privileged to have gone to the Design Indaba Simulcast in Port Elizabeth! It was a day full of listening to different speakers... But there were two architects that stood out to me and have a strong influence on the design of the office of the future... The two architects were Michael Rojkind and Clive Wilkinson... 

Michael Rojkind gave me an incite into how to push the boundaries in futuristic design... He is an architect that thinks in a very contemporary way, and that appealed to me. He asked what is your space? What are you working with? And that made me think about how can I think about the space that I am using in a completely different way than the norm... He also mentioned that we should embrace instability and FLEXIBILITY... and that is to me what stood out.. that is where the future is headed... 

Clive Wilkinson explained what the office of the future will look like, and it gave me more information in which direction the future is going with office design... The office of the future is to be unconfined, changeable, open systems, FLEXIBLE, mobile, and about engagement... There were a few of his designs that stood out to me... The Disney store, the JWT in New York, Mother London, Google Headquarters, The Barbarian group New York, and many more... The two that stood out to me the most was Mother London and The Barbarian Group... The two designs allow for interaction and collaboration...
