Today many buildings such as offices and schools have an open-plan design (no walls between areas for different activities) instead of separate rooms. Why is this? Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

Nowadays it is common to see school buildings and offices with no separating

walls

but rather rooms.

This

essay will look at some reasons for

this

and the advantages it comes with.

as schools and offices is a means of saving space and cost.
