Hi, I'd be grateful if anybody could point me in the direction of
published research that deals with the effect of building layout and
circulation on the relationships between people in an organisation,
especially the effects on how well an organisation works as a
collaborative community. I'm sure this is a well-developed field (I'm
sure I've seen publications about this in the past) but I'm finding it
difficult to find the way in to relevant research.
We have some problems with this in our own buildings, we "know" that
where people work in relation to each other and the informal ways in
which they meet are important because we've experienced good and bad
situations, but I'd like some more concrete knowledge to help me deal
with those who plan and operate our estate.
thanks
Chris
