You can call it "coworking" or "shared working" or even "out of the office box" working - it all comes down to one thing: working alongside someone who isn't a colleague. In the past few years, this concept has spread globally. Especially with organizations that need to downsize. But the ...

If you're an American worker who favors New Ways of Working: this week is National Telework Week in the U.S.A. During the week of February 14-18, private businesses and government agencies are encouraged to allow employees who normally make the trek into office each day to work from home instead. More than 35,000 companies and organizations have pledged to participate in the event. According to the official Telework Week Website, this would save an estimated $2,451,069 and more than 1,600 tons of pollutants from entering the atmosphere. Although we as the team behind TheWayWeWorkToday favor money- and pollution saving, we do not believe in “working from home” or “remote working” for days on end as the ultimate solution. Not only because prof dr. Larry Prusak has proven that people do not learn when working from home. We believe in -and build- working environments where people feel at home. 100% cubicle free with outside terraces, an organic restaurant and high tech meeting rooms. Combined with the right tech -your mobile turns into your office line the moment you walk in- it’s easy to embrace the new ways of working worldwide businesses are already facing.

We know we can change the ecosystem of a working environment. We also know we can do things to make the surroundings of the building blossom. Literally. By placing bee hyves, by creating a fruit & veg garden on the rooftop of an office building. But changing the ecosystem of a desert? Turning it into a green stretch of vegetation? Is that really possible?
Waarom bestaan er geen theaters met etalages waarin, zoals bij de Bijenkorf, verleidelijke minidecors tonen wat er binnen wordt verkocht? Waarom zie je in restaurants steeds vaker hoe de koks de gerechten bereiden, maar presenteren musea hun kunst en erfgoed alleen als eindproducten? Waarom hebben musea en theaters eigenlijk geen tuin, plein of terras, door hen ingericht en geprogrammeerd, waar je een middag lang prettig kunt vertoeven? Deze vragen vormen de aanleiding voor Beyond the black box and the white cube.
