Hebe Rut, ‘You Could Only Talk Backwards’

NPA Roundtable March 2021

art : architecture : office
inspiring creativity in the redefined workplace

Together with Assemble and BC, newplatform.art hosted a roundtable about reinventing the post-Covid workplace by designing for creativity within it. The session was moderated by Fabienne Nicholas, Head of Art Consultancy for the Contemporary Art Society, and brought together architects, artists and important players in the corporate world. The pandemic has radically altered where and how people work. This will change again when it is deemed safe to return to the workplace. That moment provides an opportunity to redefine how working spaces are used.
