BCO NextGen features in onoffice magazine
In late October 2009 BCO NextGen, Pringle Brandon and onoffice magazine convened at RIBA for a design charette to explore what the office of the next decade might be like. How will it work? Where will it be? Will we need a physical office? The results of this one day event are featured in the December 2009 edition of onoffice magazine.
The office landscape of 2009 bears little resemblance to that of 60 years ago. Taylorist offices of the 1950s and 60s, which catered to hierarchy and clerks pushing paper, have steadily given way to the more democratic and flexible work environments of the 90s and 00s, where ideas and collaboration are king.
In the 00s, with sustainability at the top of the agenda and an increasingly mobile and aging workforce, the office is poised to change again.With that in mind, onoffice, BCO NextGen and Pringle Brandon got together for a one-day design charette. Four teams of entrants from varying disciplines attempted to give us some answers.
The brief: to produce visionary concepts for the 'Office of the Teenies'.
At the close of the day, each team gave a 10 minutes presentation to a panel of industry experts made up of Jack Pringle, Gary Wingrove and Paul Edwards. The results of this day is available to view as a feature in the December 2009 edition of onoffice magazine.
