The history of the office as we know it today is a story of evolution, from the formulaic floorplates of the 60s, the cubicle settings of the 80s to the open-plan layouts of the noughties. In Hollywood terms, the office has evolved from ‘Mad Men’ to ‘Wall Street’ to ‘The Social Network'. Demand for office space has continuously changed with the times as businesses have sought to capitalise on the opportunities resulting from big societal, technological and economic shifts. This time is no different and the office is changing again.
