As the workplace changes and evolves new tensions develop about how and where we work. The more mobile our devices allow us to be, the more we need fixed places to come together to connect and collaborate. The smaller our technologies, the more we need scale to share and communicate effectively with others. The more collaborative we become, the more we need time alone. The more data we generate, the more we need places to help us make sense of it.
