Cool and smooth, that’s how our offices should be – shouldn’t they? What was until recently the dominant trend in modern office architecture is gradually being supplanted by a new yearning: the rediscovery of green love. Read in our cover story how biophilic design breathes new life into offices. As an example, we shall show you how a 600-year-old building was transformed into a place with a signal concept for the future. Speaking of the future: we asked Horst Steinbacher, CEO of officeMEDIA, how digitization will change the face of the office. We also provide proof that the spatial environment can support the ability to learn and exemplify this in the corporate campus. On top of this, we give you tips on how to cut a good figure in video conferences. Last but not least, we take a look at the desk of Manuelle Gautrand, one of the most famous architects in France, and introduce to you a couple of super-relaxed options for remote work, off the beaten track of the office mainstream. With this in mind: lean back, relax, and enjoy the next few pages.

m.zone –<br />
modules for<br />
New Work.<br />
Open units, central zones and hubs, or<br />
relaxation oases: to meet the demands of<br />
modern working environments, in m.zone<br />
Wiesner-Hager has created flexible modules<br />
for New Work offices.<br />
Future offices will provide employees with sophisticated,<br />
adaptable work environments that generate<br />
a task-supportive atmosphere. This means fade-out<br />
for rigid spatial structures. Requirements are more<br />
closely oriented on activities. “Activity Based Working”<br />
(ABW) is the order of the day. With m.zone,<br />
Wiesner-Hager has developed a completely new<br />
furnishing concept for offices which can be integrated<br />
perfectly into the organisation of agile companies.<br />
m.zone consists of individual elements such as screens,<br />
combination and free-standing furniture. New worlds<br />
of work can be created out of this modular furniture<br />
– tailored in every way to suit the customer’s individual<br />
ideas. Deployment areas in office architecture<br />
are wide-ranging: m.zone is ideally compatible with<br />
open-plan offices, central zones and hubs, crossways<br />
and lounges, likewise in reception and waiting areas.<br />
m.zone supports the philosophy of Activity-Based<br />
Working. What’s on the agenda at the moment?<br />
How much space does this need? And what does<br />
