Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel paradigm for office environments with the focus on the rapidly changing work processes in the fields of design and architecture. The proposed environment supports the dynamic modification of teams, the mobility of the whole system, and the interaction possibilities with others with the aid of new technological developments and the segmentation of a projected desktop. We suggest additional workflow components (with appropriate visualization techniques), which support the user in the processes of design and communication.
