From the nineteenth century “counting house” to the modern-day cubicle, the layout of our workspaces has undergone some pretty radical changes over the years.
This hour, we look at the history of our beloved desks and cubicles with author Nikil Saval. We also talk to some workplace architects about what goes into office design.
And later, Connecticut artist Joe Fig tells us how he’s been using his craft to recreate the workspaces of some of today’s leading artists.
