The Workplace as a Bustling Metropolis

摘要

Now that so many people can just work out of their living rooms, what draws them to an office? Carlos Martinez, consumer products practice area leader for global design firm Gensler, says it's the creative energy that comes from being around other people-vibrant spaces that buzz with energy in order to attract and foster talent. "Why do you want to go to a restaurant, especially a really cool, good restaurant? It's not because you need food; it's because being in that space is exciting," Martinez says. "People like to go to places that are crowded-bars that are very crowded versus bars that are empty-because it's exciting. It's about the fact that the place has to have a draw that is more than what you can get when you're doing it on your own."
