Entrance area alternative solution
Heres a little-known fact many of the best
innovations are not born in corporate RD labs.
They are created in the company cafeteria. Or in
a chance meeting in the corridor. They come from
interactions that can happen anywhere in the
facility, not just in a traditional desk-based
setting. If thats the case, shouldnt we be
making better use of the in-between and welcome
spaces throughout the centre.
why b-free?
