permfrost a cubicle, all equal in dimensions, equally separated, lined along a highway like motors without extra edges, long enough to hold marathon for divas. Capstone of achievements and success stories. Seems to me that some principle is at play.
Each cubicle has something different, not by design but by touch. Some have pictures, some have aphorisms, some almost have a goal written on them (in small cornerlike purposely to stay unnoticed). Some cubicles have more than one because these things are touched by many. It's funny to imagine that one day I get a cubicle for myself and see two quotes exactly the same (rare, but possible).
I was watching a construction site this other day where a new office is supposed to be built. It's far more interesting to just watch a construction site, with its physics, hurling stuff around, without order. It's hard to imagine how something like an office can be made out of pure chaos, and be the dream of a lot of honeybees, so dry and pathetic to look at. And you may think that's because a company is built by its people. This is utter bulls**t. This is equivalent to saying another brick in the wall is different. A company exists because of the visionary who has the vision of the company.
what creativity can spring out from an open space, no bricks laid down. but all that gets built is skyscrapers with tinted glass, walled monotones and hundreds of pairs of chairs and cubicles, ready for your sticky notes. the whole concept is redundant and rigged. more workspace, less mindspace.
