Dwelling in the Workplace: A Contribution to the Phenomenological Attributes of the Workplace

Physical and spatial attributes are some factors influencing various aspects of content and form, thus they contribute to change people’s behavior and social patterns. Social relations and behaviors seem to require a suitable context. One of the places where people experience their everyday life and spend a substantial amount time is the workplace. In the past, due to smaller facilities and flow of work in the life, much attention was considered understanding the work culture and its customs. In general, we can say that the spirit of place and a sense of culture in current work spaces are ignored. This review study, using qualitative research method, is based on the library studies and trying to use a descriptive study to define workspace as a place. Consequently, the aim of this study is to search the potential qualities of “being”, and finally achieve the criteria for the definition of dwelling in these spaces.
