ONE BY ONE

With One by One, I explore the way our profit-driven society's idea of productivity presents itself in a spatial way.
As a symbol I chose the "cubicle": a three-walled space to serve as a personal productive space for the worker. To me, this is the
perfect visual representation of a non-distractive, isolated space and with that a nightmarish outlook on work life.
This project serves as a critique on this conservative way of viewing productivity.

From that idea "play space" elements have been incorporated to the working environment, including elements that connect the cubicles together as a communicative tool, showing that communication can be the most helpful tool when it comes to motivation and creativity. There are three playground cubicles set up with playful elements such as crawling tubes, sharing tubes and a slide. One by One serves as an imaginative space to spark interest in changing the way we choose to be productive and motivated in the workspace.
