How can you 
create the personal feeling of a coffee 
shop inside the office? The perfect future model of the office is a place to interact, not to sit in a cubicle all day. The genius of an organization comes out of collaboration.

With wireless access you don't need cubicles to distribute power and data. While the office will still be planned 
as a system, the walls will come down and people will move around. Noise

entertainment technology. That changes the office landscape. Soon we'll be 
surrounded by information. The halls will be lined with displays. The ways 
we get content and connect with others 
will become far more architectural.
