Navigating Evolving CRE Space Needs and Societal Shifts
The evolution of the workspace design field, with significant shifts that have occurred over the years has created the explosion of interest in work and workplace-related matters. From previous industry cycles, such as the introduction of accessibility regulations in the early 90s and security concerns following terrorist attacks in the mid-90s.
Then into the late 90s and early 2000s, the challenges posed by rapid expansion and subsequent consolidation, as well as the rise of sustainability and well-being movements, the dynamic nature of the profession changed to indicate that there was constant change and new opportunities that arose for those willing to explore them. The heightened attention on workspace design post-pandemic occured: there was widespread impact on office spaces, with some offices staying empty while others adapted to new ways of working trends. That global shift towards remote work began, making changes for architecture, the need to address that remote working was her to stay, and it created opportunities to embrace a new ecosystem of places.
The social nature of humans and the inherent value of face-to-face interaction, while also acknowledging the newfound capabilities enabled by technology have affirmed the ongoing relevance of physical workspaces despite, advancements in remote technology. However, it is important to use caution against overlooking societal shifts, including increased workloads and accessibility, and it is best to offer a holistic approach to workspace design that considers these multifaceted factors.
