Abstract

NetWork

NetWork has emerged from a contemporary worldwide phenomenon, culturally manifes-ted as a consequence of globalization and the knowledge economy. It is in this context that the internet revolution has prompted a radi-cal re-ordering of social and institutional rela-tions and the associated structures, processes and places which support them. Within the duality of virtual space and theaugmentation of traditional notions of physi-cal place, the organizational structures pose new challenges for the design professions. Technological developments increasingly per-mit communication anytime and anywhere, and provide the opportunity for both syn-chronous and asynchronous collaboration.The resultant ecology formed through the network enterprise has resulted in an often convoluted and complex world wherein

designers are forced to consider the relevance and meaning of this new context. The role of technology and that of space are thus intertwi-ned in the relation between the network and the individual workplace. This paper explores a way to inform the interior design process for contemporary workplace environments. It re-ports on both theoretical and practical outco-mes through an Australia-wide case study of three collaborating, yet independent business entities. It further suggests the link between workplace design and successful business in-novation being realized between partnering organizations in Great Britain. Evidence pre-sented indicates that, for architects and inte-rior designers, the scope of the problem has widened, the depth of knowledge required to provide solutions has increased, and the rules of engagement are required to change. The ontological and pistemological positions adopted in the study enabled the spatial

dimensions to be examined from both within and beyond the confines of a traditional de-sign only viewpoint. Importantly it highlights the significance of a trans-disciplinary colla-boration in dealing with the multiple layers and complexity of the contemporary social and business world, from both a research and practice perspective.

Paper

Network

Paul SmithQueensland University of Technology, Bris-bane (Australia)

Networks have changed the way society is organized and how individuals interact within it. Whilst they are not new structures of hu-man practice, through the interconnection of individual nodes, powered by the information transfer capabilities of linked technologies, they have taken on a totally new significance. According to Bullock and Trombley “a network comprises a field of social relations, unders-tood as being made up of different elementslinked through multiplex relationships and comprising both interactional and structural criteria.” (1)

Network enterprises, epitomized by corporate collaborations, joint ventures, strategic allian-ces, partnerships, and supply chain optimiza-tion, have transformed business management into networks of cooperation. These herald the emergence of a new kind of sociotech-nical pattern of interaction between humans and technology, enacted by the person to per-son networks established. It would be naive to assume that such new patterns of social interaction do not also require an assessment of the role played by the built environment and those responsible for its creation and design. This places interior design and thus interior designers firmly within an emergent context and also as critical participants invol-ved in a discourse around which the future is germinating.

The world we live in

Today’s networks have emerged from within a contemporary worldwide phenomenon, culturally manifested as a consequence of glo-balization and the knowledge economy. It is in this context that the internet revolution has prompted a radical re-ordering of social and institutional relationships and the associated structures, processes, and places to support these. Within the duality of virtual space and the augmentation of traditional notions of physical place, organizational structures pose new challenges for the design professions.

Technological developments increasingly per-mit communication anytime and anywhere, and provide the opportunity for both synchro-nous and asynchronous collaboration. The re-sultant ecology formed through the network enterprise has resulted in an often convoluted and complex world wherein designers are for-ced to consider the relevance and meaning of this new context. The role of technology and that of space are thus intertwined in the rela-tionship between the network and the indivi-dual workplace.

Globalization refers to a range of significant world changes encompassing social, cultu-ral, political, religious, and economic issues. Castells referred to globalization as “the pro-cess by which human activity in its different dimensions becomes selectively and asym-metrically organized in interactive networks of performance that function on a planetary scale in real time.” (2) It can be linked to two distinct phenomena, the information techno-logy revolution and the major socio-economic restructuring of western society that began taking place in the mid 1970s. As the global marketplace and the knowledge economy ex-pand into the twenty-first century,

the amount of accompanying information ap-pears also to be growing exponentially. Work, education, family life, and politics are all res-ponding to the possibilities opened up by the enormous expansion as well as the speed and subtlety of its processing.AA new social structure

The new social structure of the network so-ciety is made up of networks of production, consumption, power, and experience. Within this, productivity and competitiveness are the commanding processes of the economy. It is believed that productivity stems from innova-tion, whereas competitiveness is dependent on the capacity to be flexible. Thus firms, re-gions, countries, economic units of all kinds, are inclined to gear their production rela-tionships to maximize innovation and flexibi-lity. This has resulted in a dynamic world of hyper-competition, the pressure for compa-nies to be innovative, therealignment of corporate activities, and the resulting re-invention of business, all now dominating organizational life. The creation of new knowledge, the effective capture of existing knowledge, and the efficient trans-fer or dissemination of this knowledge both internally and externally, are the characteris-tics which are permeating companies at the dawn of the new century. (3) (4) Knowledge management theory regards the level of in-formation connection in organizations as an important part of the knowledge creation process and interaction in an office environ-ment is seen as essential to enhance people’s knowledge. (5) Modern organizations are in-creasingly being perceived and described as ecosystems in which tacit knowledge is deve-loped and exchanged through conversations, formal and informal. Communication, in the broad sense of an exchange of meaning may even be the fundamental production process

of the knowledge economy. Workplace de-sign is increasingly being perceived by both management and workers to be one of the main organizational factors in either the facili-tation of, or as an impediment to the transfer of knowledge. (6) (7)

Social networks

The concept of social networks and the ability to facilitate their creation and maintenance has implications for the built environment and the physical infrastructure of organizations. Physical closeness or propinquity is often cri-tical to encouraging interaction, in breaking down the barriers between tribes within or-ganizations, and in facilitating opportunities for face-to-face meetings. In the distant past, networks began as face-to-face encounters and conversations. That legacy continues today. Virtual-teams, tele-commuters, and employees who utilize hot-desking facilities represent a special challenge in today’s orga-nizations. It is necessary to create places and reasons for people to encounter each other. Unwin (8) made reference to the importance of the ancient hearth as a place forestablishing relationships and face-to-face encounters. It appears that the ancient art of managing networks around the hearth is making a comeback precisely because of the challenges faced by working virtually. The challenge for interior designers is to unders-tand what organizational members interpret as today’s equivalent of the ancient hearth in terms of actual physical space or the symbols which supplement the lack of place.

Application to workplace design

The micro-level processes of how knowledge is enabled in firms is still very much in the exploratory stage but insights being realized through research are highlighting that

the issues of network management, social networks, and the network of spatial impli-cations are important for the future of orga-nizations. Of particular relevance for archi-tects and interior designers is the need for a reconsideration of the spaces and places wi-thin which firms undertake their operations. Unlike information, knowledge is embedded in people and knowledge creation occurs in the process of social interaction. This was no-ted by Wiig in his findings that “people and their behaviors contribute much more to the enterprise success than conventional assets”, (9) and confirmed by Burgess (10) in his PhD dissertation on the social factors impacting on supply chain innovation.

It is apparent that future organizations will still be comprised of communities but the exten-ded organizations of the knowledge economy may well be comprised of communities with potentially different social dynamics. These will require new interpretations of places and spaces by interior designers, encompassing permanent and temporary physical settings, together with virtual venues, and the mea-nings that these take on will depend on the interactions within the various networks.

A case of being-at-work

The phenomenon of new inter-organizatio-nal contexts enabled the identification of a gap in the knowledge relative to workplace design. The literature and research available indicated that there had always been a mono-organizational focus in relation to the strate-gies driving workplace design. (11) The spe-cific investigation across inter-organizational contexts in a network configuration, prior to the NetWorkPlaceTM© study, had not been attempted. (12) This study became a critical component of an over-arching supply chain optimization research initiative involving an

investigation which encompassed three cor-porations, extending a distance of over 12,000 kilometers across Australia. It was conducted over a twoyear period by a trans-disciplinary team comprising a collaborative partnership between industry practitioners and academic researchers from four different universities. The NetWorkPlaceTM© study sought to in-vestigate issues pertaining to organizational, sociological,technological, and spatial perspectives in or-der to uncover the complex dynamics of the network setting.

Subsequent to this, a recent research collabo-ration with a U.K. University in supply chain innovation being implemented by the British Ministry of Defence, has revealed a significant amount of evidence and as yet unpublished results which indicate that physical colloca-tion of network members is generating im-proved performance efficiencies. The supply chain management literature (13) makes it clear that innovation gains are embedded in socio-economic networks.

The Ministry of Defence is now working closer with suppliers to achieve innovative acquisi-tion solutions and it is apparent that there is a need to foster more social engagement. While no definitive answer has yet emerged about how to guarantee an increase in the in-tangible assets such as trust and collaboration in order to increase innovation, there is a lot of evidence to suggest that spatial elements and workplace design do and will continue to play a role.

The hype surrounding multi-disciplinary re-search in recent times appears to have captu-red the imagination of the management, in-formation technology, and design disciplines amongst others. The belief is that by combi-ning disciplines and incorporating

multiinstitutional collaboration, greater creati-vity and innovation can be achieved. Multi-dis-ciplinary research connotes the involvement of a group of individual researchers from dif-ferent specialty areas, combining their efforts towards a common outcome without any inte-gration of the disciplines throughout the pro-cess. Newell and Swan described such an ap-proach as the individuals being like “pieces of a jigsaw, where the pieces fit together but are not changed by being part of the jigsaw.” (14)

The term trans-disciplinary research is dee-med in the NetWorkPlaceTM© study to infer that the research experience in some way influences the disciplinary participants or at least impacts on the way they are liable to operate in the future. It posits a post-ex-perience transition in attitude and how re-searchers and practitioners then apply their own disciplinary knowledge. This approach has been reinforced by Stegmeier’s (15) pu-blication focusing on innovations in office design which reports on both a methodolo-gy and a number of successful case studies.

The design of workplaces must be adapted to the ways that the structure and social com-plexions of organizations are being transfor-med through the requirements and trends associated with the knowledge economy. De-sign must correspond to the strategic and ope-rational requirements of organizations both individually and as collaborative partners in the form of the network enterprise. The res-haping of space will rely heavily on new infor-mation technologies, not necessarily as the only or the primary cause of change, but cer-tainly as a significant medium to facilitate the transformation and/ or creation of workplace settings in the network context. The roles that interior designers need to play in the work-place design process as a consequence of the network context requires a shift in the

traditional methods of investigation and the ways of engaging with clients, users, and trans-disciplinary collaborators. It follows that for architects and interior designers, the sco-pe of the problem has widened, the depth of knowledge required to provide solutions has increased, and the rules of engagement are required to change to accommodate these.

This places a responsibility on the profession at large to respond to the demands created by the network context.

It is obvious then that networks is a key word in which the future is germinating. It is part of the morphology of an emerging vocabulary and a critical field of discourse for the discipli-ne of interior design. It is a multi-dimensional descriptor, thus providing both the content and context to be embraced by designers for research and practice in the future.

Network

‘01/Network/1900 World’s Fair

The Universal Exhibition of 1900 in Paris, is a presentation to the general public, multidis-ciplinary research involving researchers from various specialties. The aim of this interna-tional fair is to connect different disciple. The effect of this interconnection is expected to initiate the beginnings of the future functio-ning of our societies.

‘02/Network/Ford T

The FORD T is the symbol of the birth of mass production. Is the consequence of a desire to increase productivity and production. It must then reorganize the method and design work. These changes will strongly influence how to design workspaces and how to consume American society.

‘03/Network/Paris underground

Built for the Universal Exhibition of 1900 he was inaugurated a few months after the start of it. The Metropolitan is a new way to move very quickly in the city but als o represents a technological and cultural innovation. A new network was created.The architects of this innovation are Fulguen-ce Bienvenüe and Edmont Huet

‘04/Network/Paris Gare de Lyon

Gare de Lyon is one of the 5 main stations of Paris. The third stage of construction was completed in 1900 for the Exposition Uni-verselle. It then becomes a node connection between the lines of national railways and the new Metropolitan of Paris. This promoting the exchange of goods and people.

‘05/Network/Flat-Iron Building

The Flat Iron Building is an example of how to design a new space and the construction of a building. Externally the building contains the codes of a conventional design for its time with a Florentine-style facade, but structu-rally it is using a new method based on metal industry. It is this linking of different construc-tion techniques that will enable the realiza-tion of a building so tall for the time. This is a new model in which the various techniques interact without alteration to form a united whole.

‘06/Network/Municipal Theatre of Tunis

The Municipal Theater of Tunis is a new place to encourage social interaction within the city. The completion of this building has direct consequences for social and urban environ-ment. He created a new urban centrality, a meeting place for different flows, a new phy-sical proximity.

‘07/Network/Saint Jude Sanctuary

A church is always a place of social gathering which is very important inside a district. The design of its places of social interaction must correspond to the identification of the church as an equivalent of the old home by the pro-tagonists, in terms of actual physical space or symbolically.

‘08/Network/Newspaper L’Humanité

The press was always a reason to seek to pro-vide formal information. In order to transcribe the facts of society and the various structures of human practice. The consequence is to link the various social networks operating in the society such ecosystems and the breasts which knowledge are” exchanged through formal and informal conversations”.

‘09/Network/Budapest Parliament

The parliament in Sofia was built to express the people’s sovereignty. The idea is to provi-de a new spatial support for the institutions of power to reorganize social relations and ins-titutional, of the various structures involved. These new social interactions between the parties take place inside the building but also in the new urban area that it generates.

‘10/Network/Grand Central Station

Grand Central Station can be considered as a node for different networks that can be found in New York. Grand Central is an urban entity, in this megalopolis. Crossroads in which the flows interact, where individual and collective spheres are confronted, Grand Central Station is characterized by its ability to accommodate these interactions and then throw them in the rest of the city.

‘11/Network/Hotel Carlton

The Carlton Cannes is one of those institu-tions that act as lighthouses in his city. Their identities important, do they become spatial landmarks for the people. The Carlton is a magnet that connects social networks pre-sent in the region. The hotel offers a physical environment that is similar to the old home, a space to build relationships and encounters in situ. There is a reason, a place.

‘12/Network/Alexander Nevsky Cathedral

Alexander Nevski Cathedral is a place of so-cial gathering very important. The Cathedral acts as a centrality in the city. It is a center of important social interaction between various social entities. The completion of this building was made possible, by linking different fields of specialty. This interconnection multidisci-plinary allowed the achievement of architec-tural entity.

‘13/Network/Fagus Factory

The Fagus factory designed by Gropius and Meyer is an illustration of the new way to design the workspace. The workplace is no longer an area impervious to outside influen-ces. The workspace becomes a bright, warm, which interferes with its external environ-ment. This new multidimensional structure promotes exchanges between these different social spheres.

‘14/Network/house bench for the new town

The graphic expression of SANT’ELIA is an in-terpretation of the habitat of the new city. A thought in which the construction techniques would mix, providing a habitat designed like a massive power-house. Surpassing the urban habitat would no longer be a liability. It would become a permanent place of turmoil, active, mobile and dynamic. The habitat becomes a separate business area of the urban network.

‘15/Network/Parc Güell

Parc Guell was designed initially as a city. This thought is reflected in the overall organization and space in the architectural elements that compose it. We assume the presence of a network built around a central position which is the great central square. The architecture of urban elements of the place encourages face-to-face, private and public flows inter-penetration. The elements of the park move-ment architected to help create that interac-tion among social networks.

‘16/Network/Lake View Store

The commercial center of Lake View is part of the first modern shopping centers in the world. The genesis and development of these new platforms multidisciplinary passes, can be attributed to the arrival of the automobile mass. Using more and more of this new trans-portation system by the American society, will generate a review of the concept of distance and space, thus supporting the emergence of a new type of social and business platforms.

‘17/Network/Indistrial City

The industrial city of Tony GARNIER is a thou-ght on the general organization of the future city. Or how to promote social effervescence. The town is built around a central core compri-sing the sporting and cultural activities on one side. On the other side one finds a vast area of social gathering, political and parliamentary. The idea of this vision is to articulate the city center around a public interaction center. He refocuses the flow in the heart of the city to promote trade and social gatherings.

‘18/Network/Bauhaus School

The school of Bauhaus Founded by Walter Gropius Is an example of MultiDisciplinary in-terconnection. When You Look At The school program We Understand How the founders Have Connected The Different subjects and discipline of architecture. The school building, Which Promote Co-localization Of The prota-gonists, & the school program has generated strong Have Successfully creative emulation. This school was a center of interconnection of different disciplines.

‘19/Network/Bridge release

The bridge of liberation is one of the three downtown bridges of Villeneuve-sur-Lot. A bridge is an illustration of a physical connec-tion. It connect the two parts of the city sepa-rated by the River. It is a major flows of goods and people moving into the city. But a bridge is not only a means of crossing. It is also a place that has a strong attraction. It’s a mee-ting place and social life. We don’t walk on a bridge like if we were in a street.

‘20/Network/City Hall

The city hall belongs to the places needed in a city. The city hall has an important social, economic and political importance. The Town hall is the center of the city network. It is a space of engagement, of conflict, and social relations. The City Hall is the core of a city and generates around it, a major economic and social activity.

‘21/Network/Tour SHOKHOV

The Shokhov tower was originally planned for scientific experiments. Today it serves as transmitter of radio and television. The Sho-khov tower is used to allow the dissemination of information and enable communication between different social spheres.

‘22/Network/Lakes Highway

The highway of the lakes is an private initia-tive born from an Italian engineer. Its creation is a futuristic idea because at that time the automobile network is not well developed. His idea was to create a fast lane reserved for cars. This expressway is structured as a network of roots, main axis upon which are hooked branches.

‘23/Network/Cafe de Unie

The Café de Unie of J.J.P. OUD is an example of a place of social interference. It responds with against, with an esthetic provocative for its time, because based on the De Stijl move-ment. OUD therefore seeks to create a place that can meet the criteria of interactions and structures. His answer is poetic functiona-lism.

‘24/Network/Pessac housing estate

Garden City Pessac designed by Le Corbusier at the request of the Industrial Fruges Henry is the epitome of an interpenetration of private and professional spheres. This is a formal ap-proximation of the spaces devoted to work and those devoted to family life. This was intended to, connected the workers, not only at work but also on where they live. Creating a small wor-king community.

‘25/Network/warehouse Union Brauerei

With the evolution of society towards a so-ciety of mass consumption, the actors of the distribution networks have been forced to change their organization. They had to create a network storages near the city center in or-der to respond quickly to consumer demand.

‘26/Network/Market Hall

The market hall in Leipzig is a transdisciplinary space. It is a place of strong social interaction, but also a place offering a multidisciplinary approach in terms of practice. It is a platform on which, can work several type of social ca-tegories , providing a potential multi-dimen-sional interaction.

‘27/Network/Renault Factory

The Renault factory in Boulogne is a symbol of social struggle of the working classes. It was a place of very important social protest in the 30s, but also the symbol of this new emerging industrial networks. The plant located on the Ile Seguin, is also a place of social attraction for Parisians. The island offers a perfect plat-form for connecting different social networks of Paris along the Seine River.

INTERIOR WOR[L]DS. This work is a part of a collection of books realized by the students of the course Interior Architecture, class 2010-2011, abd edited by Professor Gennaro Pos-tiglione. It takes its origins from the partici-pation in the second Interiors World Forum, 4-5 October, hosted by Politecnico di Milano. Every student selected a paper among the words presented at the IFW and chose 99 projects, represented by just one image, co-vering 99 years, from 1901 to 2000; the100th images had to be a personal interpretation of the word chosen.

The word I chose is the word NETWORK, from the book IWF written by Paul Smith. The so-ciety has always been shape and reshape by the Networks .They transform our tools, our spaces and our working methods. The Networks interfere in our appointments, they guide our way to move and to think within the structures of social interaction. This perma-nent confrontation with the networks is ne-cessary. It allows to change the overall orga-nization of our societies. It is incumbent upon the profession to initiate this radical change with the new tools we have.
