Cool places to work are often hidden. There is one in Dresden, where a bunch of crazy social entrepreneurs are prototyping the future.

You should check out the office space of GRIP, an advertising agency in Toronto. They have a giant slide between their first and second floor and you CAN (and they DO) slide on it (it’s faster too).

Great stuff.

I wonder if the book covers the Macquarie Group building in Sydney. I just stumbled across it recently:

My sister works at EA Games and I often envy her going to their creative , funky, human-centric campus. Then again, I get to wear my pjs to work and commute
by walking down the stairs, so who am I to complain?

I love these! Unfortunately, every place that I’ve ever worked has been more in the realm of grey cubicles that look like they’ve been there since the 60′s. My current space is my livingroom couch with my laptop on the ottoman, while my 4-year old stepson watches spiderman for the millionth time in the background. Maybe someday I’ll get to design a bitchin’ workspace. For now, I’m just happy to no longer be in a cube farm!

T-Mobile’s !Creation Center reminds me of SparkSpace in Columbus, Ohio. Such environments are valuable in sparking new ideas on any topic. Only one word describes my grey box: hurtful.

Thanks for sharing the book.

I’ve always heard their are basically two types of companies, operationally execellent (very staid, rules oriented, give lots of plaques, replicate successful operations well, lots of x-military types), and intellectually excellent companies (out of the box thinkers, intra-prenurial, less structured, typical of a start up culture).

When I worked for a large transportation company, they created a innovation center that had very creative workspaces and tried to foster intellecutual excellence. They couldn’t handle it, the management culture of the organization was not ready to accept that type of “counter culture” and they eventually shut it down.

I share your fascination with work spaces and enjoyed the tour of yours. Now I must track down this book at once. Thanks for the alert.
