Future Office was a competition that was focusing on real time problems, on future. It was an international competition by Archue that aimed to understand the participants\u2019 perspective on how Covid-19 will change the workspaces and how open planning can make the workspaces more productive, yet, could put even more people at a risk. The challenge was to create a more physically safe social surrounding in the time where being physically social is the one thing one must avoid.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur aim was to create an office which understands the importance of more human-centric spaces during this new normal. Factors like density, air circulation, daylight and hygiene will have a greater role to play. We tried to create an office, which understands the importance of more human-centric spaces during this new normal. The design intent was to create a sense of warmth and security in their second homes since we, as humans, thrive on the physical presence of one another.\u201d\u00a0said the winners Simran Barai and Bhavya Batra<\/p>\n

\u201cThe intention was getting exposure and experience. We never really realize what\u2019s out there and the extent of our own potential until we put ourselves in the outside world. Winning this international competition really helped us boost our confidence and find out what our forte is in this vast expanse of the field.\u201d<\/p>\n
