Envision: The Future of Office Space
View/ Open
Abstract
The future of office work is in a rush for a quick yet long lasting solution. Offices need a space that
will allow people to access work safely without worrying about the spread of any germs and allowing
themselves to be socially distant. The world is looking at its work environment from a different
standpoint. A lot of people will be working from a remote standpoint yet office buildings can still have an
important role even if it has less users. Technology is going to accelerate in the business world through
the fundamental shift of the effects of the COVID pandemic. A near touchless experience will positively
impact the experience and health of its users. Consider a bottom-up approach of design that incorporates
elements friendly to the work environment. The overarching premise of this project emphasizes that
architecture can positively impact the physical well-being of people and allow for a cleaner environment
for its users. Precedent case studies and combined strategies guide design elements that correlate with
the COVID-19 pandemic to be implemented into the built environment of the office building.
