@kerstinsailer @spacesyntax Franklin Antonio Hall on the campus of UCSD has some unique design features to encourage collaboration. https://fah.ucsd.edu/

That looks interesting. Have you seen the place in action?
I'm always rather cautious with declarations of "collaborative buildings" (especially when coming from architects or organisations running them)
@kerstinsailer @spacesyntax Franklin was highly influential on the design and was the co-founder of Qualcomm. I've not seen it in action, but knowing Franklin, it's correctly built.

I’ll have to read this while on my computer.

I guess my office is sort of like 5. We have very low turnover, and a system of seniority leading to the choice offices (not on the shaft) having turnover only after multi-decade retirement. So some close collaborators are across the building because of the order of retirement.

I wonder if you could guess the turnover rate from how compact the clusters are.

@atthenius @spacesyntax @stefan
How interesting!
One of the buildings for science I studied during my PhD (some time ago) had an interesting combination of clusters and randomness, mainly due to a very active visitor's programme, so lots of temporary stays and turnover programmed into the building
