Week 8 - Types of Spaces

When researching the scenario we have developed as a group, I stumbled upon this website which is primarily an office furniture website but i found the way they define the spaces they design furniture for very interesting graphically. I plan on modifying the spaces for my architectural entity in order to be more relevant to the time in the future scenario. Below are images from the website; http://bene.com/office-furniture/office-zones-and-areas/


Diagram demonstrating the relationship of spaces moving from spaces of interaction to spaces of privacy.

Back office spaces, traditional spaces of the office can be found here; workstations, executives etc.

Communication spaces, lunch rooms, meeting rooms, lounge.

Areas for concentration.


Future spaces;

Draft spaces for Google Media Centre, between spaces movement and flow should depict transparency, innovation and partial chaos as to mimic Google as a company, to look as though it would seamlessly blend with other Google offices.
