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

I believe that a building with an open space design structure has a more negative impact on the institution. Some people prefer open-plan office layouts to separate chambers probably because of the relatively low cost and easy maintenance.

However

, these few advantages do not guarantee that the building will serve its purpose efficiently. I will explain in three brief reasons why I think an open-area plan is a bad choice for the structure of a building.

Firstly

, open-space designs breed a rowdy environment as different activities are being carried out simultaneously in the same area. These can cause disorderliness, especially in establishments where daily operations require a lot of talking and movement. Various sounds from various people all at the same time are more likely to result in noise.

Secondly

, buildings with well-demarcated areas and separate offices are more aesthetically pleasing to a customer than

impression to a visitor rather than an arrangement which is unpleasant due to disorderliness.

Thirdly

, open-space designs can cause a customer to be confused when walking in for the

time. Since all operations are in one area, a customer is merely unable to distinguish between the sundry setups.

For example

, in a building with separate chambers, the various services offered by the establishment are boldly indicated on the doors of the different rooms. An open arena building layout,

on the other hand

, is unable to provide

Consequently

, visitors find it hard to navigate through the building in search of a suitable worker to attend to them. In conclusion, I believe beyond any doubt that open space design is disadvantageous to any establishment or institution.
