My personal passion...
...for more than two decades has been design, particularly the design of work and educational spaces. I have always been convinced that it is in these two spaces where the identity of individuals and societies is largely built. Much has been written about the fact that human beings spend 80% of their time indoors, it should come as little surprise that this time, in an overwhelming majority, takes place in offices or educational spaces.
There are many reasons why offices are spaces that merit in-depth analysis, not only because of the relevant role they play in humanity and in people's sense of transcendence, or because of the impact -negative in most cases- they have on those who live in them (an extremely important point that will be discussed in depth in another article). The reality is that there is a vertex that is rarely analyzed when talking about office space.
