FXFOWLE and Metropolis Magazine Host Panel Discussion: The Biology of Happiness in the Workplace

FXCollaborative
FXFOWLE and Metropolis Magazine will host a panel discussion on "The Biology of Happiness in the Workplace" on October 19, 2016.

New technologies, data, wellness, and alternate modes of work are driving design trends to increase productivity by optimizing human biology and health. Technology is changing the way we work and communicate; even where we work and when we work. It's a powerful tool that's blurring the boundaries of work and home. Business centers are now functioning as concierge operated co-working spaces with amenity rich spas, restaurants, cultural and networking event spaces–workplace models are being embraced locally and nationally. This movement toward a profoundly different workplace model is laying the groundwork for the next truly innovative generation of workplace design. How are these changes rapidly affecting workplace design as a majority of clients are rejecting familiar corporate language of office spaces?
