How can architecture for workspaces be future‐proofed? From shifts between favouring open planning or subdivided spaces, to practical demands brought by new technologies and working patterns, firms face a real challenge in adapting to change. Despina Katsikakis advises and lectures internationally on workspace thinking and design.
