"Design turns space into an experience. At its best it's a unifier, framing diverse effort in a common purpose." That is the parting observation our designers left with the audience at #WORKTECH19. While the rebranding of Nike and McDonald's was the main topic of the session, at the heart was how thoughtful and intentional design can shape a space, unite a company (even one already established) and translate core values.Read More

Verda Alexander, Co-founder of O+A will discuss Friction in the Workplace and ask the question: has ease become too easy? For 25 years workplace design has moved steadily in the direction of comfort. The efforts of designers of commercial interiors have focused on creating environments that make the job easier and the worksite more inviting. Has the industry gone too far? Young office workers who know nothing other than in-house cafes and light filled schmoozing zones ("collaboration") seem ill-equipped to handle setbacks, too inclined to embrace the first idea and too often creatively passive. This lecture will explore the idea of building resistance back into the work environment, making space that is less like a worker's utopia and more like the psychological reality for which all working people need to be prepared.

Metropolis Magazine presents “Working Side by Side” O+A joins Gensler and Convene for a lively discussion about meaningful work. Companies deal with a more diverse workforce today than ever before, in terms of age, gender, political beliefs, and work preferences. How are designers engaging with their clients to make work a better experience for everyone? Design’s core tenet is to improve the lives of others. But as architects and designers know too well, who we consider as these “others” is often limited, selectively applied, and favoring those with means. With workplaces getting more diverse, and inequality in cities rising, can the A&D community rise to the occasion and deliver solutions which are truly equitable and inclusive?Read More
