Addendum: If the employees all dressed in white that would be so Japanese.

Good effort at changing office landscape, but I would like to see it occupied. Will there be controls on pasting stuff on the walls. Right now it reminds me of
THX 1138, the Lucas film with Robert Duvall.

…and speaking of cheap, plastic curtains?
I like the feeling of light everywhere though, maybe the panels don’t bother me too much – though it does resemble a plywood model to some degree…

Well I quite like the fact that someone has tried to change the way an office should be designed,, its an interesting design but overall I don’t really think the effect works, and it has many design flaws.

As pointed out, the potential hazzards from tripping over the partitions is evident, and will be a potential problem, potential lawsuits may arise. Also i’m only looking at the space from a picture and I feel disorientated, so how will people in the space actually feel? It could affect the workers performance, as well as many other things.

umm… it’s … too heavy for me.
Not only the disabled accessible problem, but the partitions are kind of disturbing.
and I agree with Vince B.. the thickness of the panels is another problem.

I like Nendo though. haha..

Yes, not disabled accessible nor convenient for emergency evacuations!
Also the thickness of the panels makes the installation look like a cheap handiwork.
A shame because the effect of the cut-out on the office landscape and users silouhettes is really interesting.

It looks like an undeveloped idea to me. Or different for the sake of being different. I haven’t developed any particular envy over not working there…

Hope they did solve the wheelchair access issue, cuz I must say it looks all right from standard height. Reminds me of these puppet-show like performances with cardboard waves and cardboard boats ‘floating’ between them, in this case replaced by the people, plants and desks the designers talk about. Very theatrical project in general actually.
