Nowadays, some buildings such as offices and school have open space design instead of seperate rooms. Why is it so? Do you think it is a positive development or negative?

Nowadays, a new trend ramps up in working spaces and

schools

regarding their interior design. A big open

area

is now more popular than in the past. As far as I am concerned, I think

merits and should be welcomed. The predominant reason for the wider adoption of an open

area

is the ascending trend of working from home. In the past, every employee in the office has his own desk, with a separate computer on it. Starting two years ago, companies are more open-minded about letting employees work from home some of the time. The office space is now filled with long tables, and those employees who need to check in on a particular day just find their own seat, which is not fixed. Meeting

rooms

are still available for booking to the needy, but undeniably the

rooms

required are fewer than before. As for

now prefer to have big theatres for students to have lectures or even watch videos, in order to save

occupied and the more centralized design help to conserve energy and contribute to a smaller energy bill.

Nevertheless

rooms

are often occupied. If the material discussed is confidential, a lack of face-to-face communication may lead to a drop in efficiency. In conclusion, the fact that offices are having more open space is
