REFLECTION BRIEF
Co-working spaces influence innovation in the workplace by creating a network of young, creative freelancers. As suggested in The Rise of Coworking Spaces by A. Gandini, “[co-working is] a ‘third way’ of working, halfway between a ‘standard’ work life within a traditional, well-delimited workplace in a community-like environment, and an independent work life as a freelancer, characteristic of freedom and independence, where the worker is based at home in isolation” (Gandini, A. 2015, p. 195). The trend of co-working spaces are attracting young workers; businesses are looking at ways to successfully model a work-place for this generation and future generations to come. As stated in the Toronto Star, “we don’t want to just make sure we get it right for this generation. We want to make sure that we get it right for future generations” (Kalinowski, T. 2016, p. 2). Business leaders face a large barrier in the work-place which is to keep coworkers engaged (Moutrey, G. 2016, p. 16). Steelcase President and CEO Jim Keane says “we need to think about how to reinvent it, over and over. And, crucially, instead of continuing to drain the meaning out of people’s jobs, we need to think hard about how to continually re energize and engage our teams” (Moutrey, G. 2016, p. 25). The method to achieving a successful co-working bubble is to break down the boundaries within the environment and to create an experience for the young workers entering the co-working world. Young, creative freelancers are looking to create a network in new social environments and “a collaborative practice that seeks to establish communitarian social relations among the member-workers” (Gandini, A. 2015, p. 196). The design of the Communitech Cognitive Bubble focuses on this research by implementing innovative opportunities for spontaneous networking experiences and an adaptive timeless design.

CONCEPT STATEMENT
The design of the Communitech Cognitive Bubble inspires opportunities for networking experiences with placement of accessible formal and informal meeting spaces. The co-working bubble offers a variety of work settings and a pallette of postures to enhance the regular work day and keep co-workers engaged. The community of this office space was inspired by the networks in the human brain, in which each aspect works together to operate something greater than itself. Together, in this community based co-working environment, co-workers will feel a sense of place and belonging with the use of a cohesive colour palette, the use of architectural materials and furniture systems layouts to achieve inclusivity, and the attention to creating a 100% barrier free and universal design. This Human centered space is designed with close attention to staff and potential client requirements. The use of contrasting colours throughout the space will allow all users, colour blind or not, to experience the space equally. Lounge spaces are thoughtfully planned throughout the office space so clients and staff have the opportunity to rest or to collaborate. Floor pattern and ceiling design with well thoughout materiality to avoid glare creates interest and serves the purpose for wayfinding as occupants travel through circulation paths. Graphics throughout the space enhance the sense of community and corporate identity that communitech holds, as well, as serving a secondary source for wayfinding. Private and public spaces are carefully seperated through space planning and the shared spaces are easily accesible from within the office. Through the use of colour, materials and space planing, the co-working bubble takes the conceptual idea of the networks in the human brain to reality.
