Expectation vs Reality 2.0

Ok.. I'm back in the grid.. After 3 deadly weeks, no personal computer (using the lab computer), 18 hours working each day.. 

Anyway.. Business as usual..



In this blog and the next few blogs I will try to wrap-up a bit about 2 previous blogs. "Questioning the green" and "Expectation vs Reality" about architecture student studying environment.



How to wrap it up?by adding more problems.. *grinsmile* but this time.. Things get serious a bit.

 It's hard to read.. I'll summary it for you.. 


See why I said a bit serious?Financial Review.. yes.. I'm a "green".. If you know what I mean..*grinsmileagain*

Both articles from Financial Review Thursday 15 may 2014 page 38 and 46.

The first article mention about a new trend in office space market. Especially with the new Barangaroo development with 30,000 sqm new space.

 "The work space of the future are going to need to be a learning venues, an innovation environment and social environment" says Brad Krauskopf chief executive of Hub Australia. "You can do your work from anywhere. You're going to need to have a lot more reason to want to come along to a space" He added up.
This is the new trend where flexible space, office space, is a must by the tenant. Why?? it's connected to the second article. Emphasise in the second article, the preference among tenants is for "cost-effective space" that drives productivity and adds value to the business.

In my opinion?the company no longer need a large office area for their company, since everyone can work remotely almost from everywhere. The company tend to invest their excess money not to rent more space but to "rent" more innovation, creativity and of course in the end will keep the company competitive.

So.. After the GFC in 2008, the industry seems coming back on track although not as strong as before GFC. That is the main reason they tend to think more on their core business. Because the actual fact that most of the company expenditure goes to the building expenditure (rent, maintenance, etc) and human resource (salary for the employee). This is, I think, the main reason for the trend shift.


A bit heavy?not really I'll leave it here for the thinking.. Stay tune I have more.... problems to discuss.. 

As usual.. please, comments, critics, opinions, cheers!!!
