The exchange™ pinwheel

Rate this Entry
The exchange™ pinwheel is made up of 6 elements of the same kind, left or right. 6 left is shown.
Each workstation has enough personal space for focused privacy without the need for partitions. Screens are angled for privacy.
The desktop space to the left works as a place for text materials or as a shared conference space with the neighboring collaborator.
Impromptu round circle meetings can easily take place with open sight lines within the group.


The Geometry of Interaction

People use body language to express themselves. Sometimes they need to be open to a group or to a work partner. Sometimes they need to work with independent focus. Whether using text materials, computers, laptops or mobile devices, the ability to move the body for joining or blocking is essential for creative freedom and the ability contribute, synthesize and build consensus. The pinwheel shape offers a great range of postures without the need for time-wasting re-arrangement.
