Technology is changing fast and humanity needs to keep up. The converse is equally true. Human needs are evolving and changing. Family systems are changing, food habits are expanding and diversifying, ways of working is shifting as ‘work’ is no longer constrained within offices or even conventional working hours. With the rise of independent freelancers, the blogging culture and to counter the costs of running an office space; cafes became a hub where people not only conducted meetings but also worked throughout the day. This led to the concept of co-working spaces that offer the benefits of an office-space sans the expenses. And seeing opportunities within the co-working culture; many cafes, retail stores, and even conventional offices started renting out spaces for co-working. And with time the co-working culture also led to a collaborative culture where work undertakings often involve various professionals forming a team for projects and working much like a company does. These factors, however, do not undermine companies, or offices or traditional systems. It is a new way of life, one that is in a constant state of flux. And it is within this context, that V. Vishwanath, founder and principal architect at Vishwanath Associates attempts to draw some threads that can unravel how the future can be designed for.
