The New Ideal Office in the Hybrid Era
AIA Houston | Design Council | Sally Walsh Lecture “The New Ideal Office in the Hybrid Era”
Speaker: Clive Wilkinson
The advent of hybrid working introduces a new age of mobility. The coronavirus pandemic validated the WFH (work from home) model, bringing the home and office into a category of complementary workplace and lifestyle. The work/life balance shifts, commutes are cut down, and employees can manage their own schedules. Offices can save on space, capital costs, and utilities, devoting resources to creating better, more supportive, and exciting workplaces. “The New Ideal Office” must become a magnet for community to ensure its continued relevance.
