Perspektiver på Moderne Arbejdsrum: Frihed vs. friktion

The information technology which supports the work of an increasing number of people sets us free from the limitations and boundaries of physical space. What does it mean when the office building changes from being a functional place that provides a setting for work equipment and contacts with colleagues to being the company’s physical marker of value and creator of identity?

Moreover, can the physical solidity of architecture gain new significance as an alternative to the frictionless digital world – as something that can offer tangible, bodily – and productive – resistance? This was the wording of the introductory presentation for the OPEN ROOM seminar on the modern workspace – it is also some of the questions the publication attempts to answer.
