Abstract
The physical environment of an office, laboratory or studio shapes, reflects and sometimes subverts the kinds of communication required to get work done there. To examine that hypothesis, my research into workspace design pulls together insights from material culture studies as well as rhetorical theory. Given a long-standing interest in professional communication, I am focusing on a productive intersection of these disciplines to look at on-the-ground communication practices in specific 21st-century work spaces.
