In architect Emmanuelle van Rutten s vision, office cubicles are replaced by multi-use gathering spaces, and there are more green features including living walls and rooftops.
In a post-COVID-19 city, many of us will continue working from home, reducing the need for office space, van Rutten said. The focus of the remaining office space will also change.
