This document summarizes a lecture by Dr. Kerstin Sailer on designing spaces for people. Sailer discusses how major tech companies like Samsung, Apple, Facebook, and Google are designing new headquarters campuses, and questions whether physical office space is still needed in an increasingly digital world. She cites theorists who argue that co-presence in shared physical spaces fosters awareness of others, community, and opportunities for serendipitous encounters. Sailer also analyzes how different types of spatial layouts like connected, compartmentalized, cellular and open-plan shapes social relationships and interactions. She advocates using data rather than just opinions to understand how people behave in and experience different workplace environments.

Do we still need the physical space of the office?
ROUTINESCO-PRESENCE ENCOUNTER
Co-present individuals may not know each other, () but co-presence [still] is ()
a social fact and a social resource. Co-present people are not a community, but
they are part of the raw material for community. () Even without conversion into
interaction, patterns of co-presence are a psychological resource, precisely
because co-presence is the primitive form of our awareness of others.
