The physical workspace of the 21st century. It seems like privacy is reducing with big data and a need for transparency. We know how important access and transparency are, but what do we know of the importance of privacy at work?

1. Glass privacy

2. It is about the glass.
It is about the privacy.
At work.

3. Privacy is about the state
in which one is not observed
or disturbed by other people.

4. Glass is a wonderful material. It brings us natural
daylight, overview and more openness in company
culture.

5. However too much glass or transparancy renders
our environment less safe for people and ideas.

6. You might feel you have nothing to hide from your
boss or colleagues.
Maybe so, however when we feel being watched...

7. ...our behavior changes dramatically.
Always in a conformist manner.

8. We need to value privacy
to create spaces that inspire autonomy.

9. When designing your work environment
Privacy is an important factor.
Visually, acoustically and territorially.

10. Visual privacy
Choice over visual distraction and your own
exposure.

11. Accoustic privacy
Not being disturbed by sound

12. Territorial privacy
Being able to temporarily claim and influence the
space, individual or as a team.

13. What does privacy bring?

14. 1. Free thinking. Dare
2. Autonomy. Self confidence
3. Freedom within the social construct. Internal motivation
4. Flow. Concentration from the source
