Issues with Open space design - Why You Can’t Concentrate at Work? in General
WSJ published an article on perils of open space design that prevents concentration.
The problem is visual noise; companies get creative dialing down distractions that pull eyes away from desks, an unforeseen consequence of open-plan workspaces.
The design is great, it's the new modern thing that companies are working on. I work at a corporation myself and happen to think it's great. It's especially great for programmers like me, so this way, there is more communication. Another new staple is programemrs being one computer. Usally 2 check each other's code for quality assurance. I like both new methods.
I think it depends on the individual. For myself, I find that open spaces with a lot of noise help me maintain a high working enthusiasm, as seeing and hearing people working all around me makes me want to do the same - but quiet secluded spaces are better for concentration, when I encounter a difficult problem in my research and need some time to organize my thoughts and try to create a plan on how to approach the problem.
