IIDA Perspective - Spring/Summer 2014 - 16
Walking the talk (or not)
Participants were asked whether their own work
environment had changed over the last few years. A
common answer was: "Perhaps not as much as it should
have considering the leading-edge spaces we are realizing
for our clients." For every design firm or manufacturer
who's embraced agility-creating more teaming spaces
and two- to three-person workrooms-there were
two more with a hierarchical, cubicle-and-corneroffice environment.
Still, there were those who walked the talk. Haworth
has been experimenting with unassigned seating. Many
others have embraced benching. Hollander Design Group
treats its office as a working prototype, said Viveca
Bissonnette, FIIDA. "We are using our own space as a lab
to discover the best ways to increase productivity and
satisfaction-for ourselves as well as for our clients."
One facet of the office-scape that has changed for
everybody: cutting-edge technology and its seamless
integration into the interior design. Two screens per desk
is common, most work on giant flat-screens, and a variety
of programs, apps, and personal gadgets were credited as
essential to daily work.
In the modern workplace, agility is a desired spatial
attribute. Yet it's often misunderstood or under considered
by clients, perceived as a shortcut for change, singlehandedly capable of making an organization more
accessible, transparent, and nonhierarchical.
Space itself cannot instigate cultural change; it can
only support what's already in place. Create a diversity
of environments for different kinds of working and
interaction, with the right type of open space that supports
teamwork and dialogue, and that allows solo focus work,
too. Create agile, adaptable, modular environments that
can be reconfigured from hour to hour, day to day, and
month to month as tasks and teams shift. You've all heard
it from clients: "I don't want you to create an interior,
I want you to create a culture."
But design can only support a culture or give it a framework; change management must be implemented to shift
a culture, and even then it's often a slow and painful
evolution. Stress the importance of change management
to clients, and be equipped to help them with it. Put
guidelines in place about how an agile office space
should be used, and make sure clients are invested in
and uphold them.
