Gensler Design Forecast 2016 Commercial Office Building Developers Empowering a new workforce As workers gravitate toward social settings, apart from home and work, new and repositioned “office buildings” will make room for them. Openness and connection to adjoining buildings and districts will gain importance. As mobile workers switch between office space and “third place” alternatives, owners and developers that focus on transit-served, mixed-use districts may have an edge in attracting them. The demand for workplace flexibility will be reinforced by buildings that let organizations, teams, and individuals shape space on the fly. Faster adaptability will be the norm, and buildings will reflect this in form, structure, interior volume, façades, and services. Space will become more democratic as flatter, innovation-hungry organizations embrace agile, autonomous teams that are directly accountable for their results. opposite: AVIC International Financial Center, Chengdu, China below: RGA, Chesterfield, MO 68 69
