Munich, 30 January 2020. The classic office has had its day. In this new decade, it needs a fundamental rethink. This also applies to commercial and working spaces for medical technology. At the LOUNGES clean room trade fair, which took place in Karlsruhe from 28 to 30 January, new work expert Sven Bietau from the architecture and consultancy firm CSMM spoke about the transformation of working environments. At the workshop entitled “The office is dead. Long live the office!”, he outlined the link between Work 4.0 and the internal change needed and used this argument to encourage a change in thinking.
