摘要

In fact, cubicles have become cultural icons for everything we despise about our work life. As a designer, it's impossible not to hear those complaints and take them to heart. We hear: 1. "Cubicles are like cages; they make us feel trapped and uninspired." 2. "Cubicles cannot support new and existing technology, or the way I work." 3. "Cubicles are not a place to meet, and you can't share them." 4. "Cubicles do not support teams or collaboration." 5. "Cubicles are not comfortable and certainly are not relaxing."
