Office.Info Escape Places
Dear Reader,
End of the year, beginning of a new year – who doesn’t feel the strong urge to check out, tune the world out and go underground? People need breaks every day, and the busier it gets in the office, the more rest they need. We have looked around for you to see what’s going on with "escape places" in the office – see for yourself.
Our project report also shows, among other things, what break-out zones can look like – an example from London.
Before we enter the home stretch to 2010, here are a couple of tricks and tips on how to navigate the pre-Christmas slalom – no problem with Xmas stress.
We continue with an auditory outlook on the new year: the DLD Conference in Munich is already on the doorstep. The team at Digital, Life, Design for the 21st century has compiled the Office.Playlist this time – listen in, chill out.
And with that, we're going to "escape" until February 2010, when you will get your next Office.Info. Have a Happy New Year! With lots of success. And we hope you enjoy this Trendletter.

OFFICE TRENDS
The telephone rings, the mobile too, and there are emails and messages on Facebook and Twitter to respond to as well. A colleague stops spontaneously at the desk, the others are already waiting in the meeting room. Composure is required in prioritising communication.
TRENDS
Sitting together with colleagues is really nice. Chat a little, stop thinking about work for a few minutes, have something sweet to eat. And for sure – Christmas time really does mean a bit of rest and reflection for her.

Place design matters. Everyone perceives the world around them in a slightly different way, but there are fundamental laws that describe how people experience their physical environments. Place science principles can be applied in homes, schools, stores, restaurants, workplaces, healthcare facilities, and the other spaces people inhabit.
