This week Fast Company’s Innovation by Design Awards announced the 2023 winners of the Workplace category, "projects built to make workers happier and more productive." This year’s winner was the Copenhagen offices of research and design lab SPACE10.
"In a recent SPACE10 survey, we learned that 87 percent of our community engages with us for inspiration and new ideas, while 59 percent want to be part of a like-minded community. So we wanted to explore opening up our space in new ways. As the concepts of workplaces and third places continue to evolve, we recognize the need for more shared, communal spaces in our cities. Places where people can carve out solo creative time, places where people and ideas can collide, where networks and relationships can grow, and which aren’t dependent on monetary exchange.
"Libraries embody this. They are democratic havens for many people — safe, warm, accessible, and connected. They foster healthy communities and facilitate lifelong learning. Home to millions of ideas and experiences, public libraries enable access to other worlds and ways, inspiring new perspectives and futures." - Kevin Curran
