In this research, we exploit a unique data set and approach using spatial design as a variable of interest. We compare nine workplace designs for companies in the financial industry completed before 2019 with nine cases finished post-pandemically. All were designed by AIS Interiors to control for potential biases arising from distinct design styles.

"The Space Between" explores the question whether office design has changed due to the Covid-19 pandemic (or do we simply work differently within the same spatial structures?)

Together with my brilliant collaborator @ChrystalaPsathiti, I was invited by the #WorkplaceGeeks Ian Ellison and Chris Moriarty to talk about our latest research paper on adolescent perceptions of schools in relation to their spatial layout, originally published in the Journal of Architecture and now featured in the wonderful Workplace Geeks podcast series 3.

New paper published!
In 'The challenges of hybrid work: an architectural sociology perspective', we - my wonderful colleagues Matt Thomas, Rosica Pachilova and I - scan the emerging literature since 2020 and compare it to a small sample of participants with lived experience of hybrid work.
