This thesis aims to explore how the design of coworking spaces, specifically in terms of interior design and architecture, can influence human behavior and create an environment that supports different types of work activities. The study analyzes the impact of design elements such as barriers and fields on focused work, collaborative work, social interactions, and learning activities within coworking spaces. Additionally, the thesis examines the importance of building a strong community within the workplace and explores the origins and development of the coworking concept. Practical examples of existing coworking spaces are analyzed to understand their community-building efforts and the implications of their design on productivity. The findings of the research inform a design project for a coworking space for architects, providing practical solutions based on the theoretical conclusions. The thesis draws upon a range of literature and research on coworking, community building, and design principles to support its analysis and recommendations.
