If Only… There were Organic Grid+ workplaces
Say Sean Cassidy and Joe Wilson of multidisciplinary design practice Cassidy+Wilson
If Only we could imagine the workplace of the future -- Organic Grid+ gives an insight into what our working lives could be like in 2050.
The scheme uses existing building stock with a health conscious plug-in that unites the workforce and creates a healthier working lifestyle.
The project imagines a world where live content is streamed into the users' eye through an augmented-reality contact lens; this monitors the overall well-being of employees, increasing focus and productivity, while also informing users about their work schedule.
The office space is stripped back, creating a completely flexible, translucent workspace, manipulated on a grid system that promotes stand-up working.
This all comes together in the sky-garden atrium: imagine eating your lunch in a luscious field of gold 100m in the sky, while colleagues take it in turn to harvest their lunch, which is prepared for them.
