THE FUTURE OF WORKSPACE IS ABOUT WORKERS • Workspaces of the future will be centred on the needs of the people (and technology) who work in them as never before – but not necessarily in the ways we imagine. This was one of the themes at the Pacific Rim Real Estate Society Conference hosted by the University of Auckland Business School in January. Professor Deborah Levy, head of the Business School’s Department of Property, shares these insights from the event.
PERSONAL SPACE • Fritha Hobbs is an architectural graduate at Strachan Group Architects. Here she shares some of the things she’s enjoying reading and listening to.
