Item Restricted Beyond the Walls : an Innovative Cubicle Design for the Modern Office(2023) Maryamossadat Borghei; Köknar, Sait Ali; Tubles, John; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: The evolution of work dynamics necessitates a revisitation and re-evaluation of office design, particularly focusing on the integration and optimization of cubicles as adaptable workspaces. This study delves into the potential of innovative cubicle design in meeting the contemporary demands of office environments, addressing the need for flexibility, privacy, and conducive work conditions. Through a quantitative methodology and a comprehensive literature review, the study navigates through the historical evolution and criticisms of cubicles, and examines the adaptability of cubicles in various work environments including individual spaces, shared workspaces, and collaborative workspaces. Three case studies of modern cubicle designs, namely Alcove and Alcove Plus by Vitra, Bivi by Steelcase, and Avion by Stylecraft, are meticulously analyzed to glean insights into the characteristics that contribute to effective modern office environments. Following this, a design project illustrating an innovative cubicle and partition system tailored for the modern office is presented. This research aims to unravel the intricacies of cubicle utilization in modern workplace design, striving to contribute knowledge towards creating supportive, adaptable, and conducive work environments that resonate with the dynamic needs of the modern workforce. Keywords: Cubicle Design, Modern Workplace Design, Office Flexibility, Privacy, Adaptable Workspaces, Work Dynamics, Interior Architecture, Modular Office Systems, Work Environment Optimization, Innovative Cubicle Design
