Imagining the Hybrid Workspace as a "Third Space": Participatory Speculations on the Unique Qualities of the Hybrid Cooperative Space
Pages 393 - 397
Abstract
According to recent research, the hybrid workspace should be recognized as a distinct "third space'' alongside the fully physical and fully remote workspace. However, the specific attributes of this third space remain uncertain. Following a research-through-design approach, this study seeks to explore the unique qualities of the hybrid cooperative space with a co-creative poster, that encourages a collaborative and speculative generation of such qualities. Based on the findings gathered at a research and art event, this study identifies three concrete affordances and qualities of the hybrid workspace and demonstrates the potential of looking beyond binary classification systems when designing for the hybrid cooperative space.
