The Lloyd's Building
The large clear floor plates, uncluttered by services, are each connected by escalators to facilitate easy internal communication, one of the essentials of the brief.

Federico Babina's ARCHIWRITER Illustrations Visualize the "Architecture of a Text"

To encourage local economic development, chambers of commerce in some cities, have been working with local government and businesses to entice entrepreneurs with free workspace the last few years.

The Death Of The Office
Marriott has created Workspace On Demand, which allows anyone to “book” a space in the lobby of a Marriott hotel as easily as they can book a room overnight. Marriott began the program last year, as a pilot that used 35 hotels and 100 spaces.

The growing number of companies committed to re-imagining workspace include WeWork, General Assembly, and Neuehouse, all of which offer open, collaborative co-working spaces, complete with on-site amenities and frequent networking opportunities to inspire collaboration, innovation and creativity.
