Smaller cubicles = more knowledge workers per square foot. Privacy and space don't matter, because the office worker's time belongs to the employer, and "collaboration" is key. (Of course no one wants the overhead of moving people, so project turnover quickly evaporates the correlation between project and location, turning audible collaboration into noisy interruptions.) Supporting collaboration by shrinking previously established office conventions to child-like proportions is less expensive and easier to visualize than a purpose-built environment. As long as the HVAC system delivers enough oxygen, it will all work out.
Actually, the natural light is some of the best I've had; so in some respects, I've seen much worse.
The air conditioning also works late, which is a benefit most of the Internet Boom era companies I worked for could not claim. Somehow most of them ended up moving into buildings in which all the other tenants had for some reason always worked bankers' hours.
Update, 4/1/2015:
Most of this was demolished today. We've moved into a new area, with a new furniture scheme that exposes most employees even more. Low-level managers get more space; just not enough privacy to discuss anything confidential.
In a step backward, horizontal surfaces are now covered with plastic that's been printed with wood grain. This was darker than the real wood veneer on the doors, so painters came in last night to cover the fine wood grain with dark brown paint. I have the impression the company actually paid professionals to plan all this.
Plastic's a fine material! Just let it be plastic. And let wood be wood. There's a pattern here. For now, let's summarize it as "not lying."
To be fair, I doubt these professionals were responsible for moving the old plastic potted trees to the new location. I think we committed that esthetic atrocity on our own.

This CGI office was created for a leading manufacture and is only a small example of the CGI photography images we produced for their new product launch. Our set designer and stylists were responsible for all the creative production designing all the room layouts and the interior design of the room decor.
All the 3D models and Photorealistic textures for this CGi office were created by our in house team of CGI illustrators/artists with the support of the Photographers and stylists department.
In the Mission Director's Center at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, NASA and contractor managers and engineers monitor progress during a countdown rehearsal for the launch of a United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket with the Joint Polar Satellite System-1, or JPSS-1, spacecraft.

The high-level event “Empowering Women in Development: Challenges Beyond 2015” took place in Vilnius on October 8-10. Organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania, the Lithuanian Development Cooperation and the Eastern Europe Studies Center in partnership with the Community of Democracies Working Group on Women and Democracy, the event brought together leading figures from governments and civil society, including the President of Lithuania, Dalia Grybauskaitė.
The Secretary General of the Community of Democracies, Ambassador Maria Leissner, participated in the event as a panelist in a panel titled “Women’s Leadership for Democratic Development”. Secretary General Leissner also held a series of advisory meetings with four delegates attending through the Community’s LEND Network, all of whom are involved in promoting women’s political participation in Moldova and Tunisia. One of them, Olga Melniciuc, economic adviser to the Prime Minister’s Economic Council in Moldova, spoke on a conference panel, “Women’s Economic Empowerment: Overcoming Barriers.”
Former Holborn Union Offices. Dated 1885 on the foundation stone and 1886 on the corner pediment. By Alfred Saxon Snell for the Board of Guardians. Blue brick to the base, the street elevations entirely of rubbed brick with cut and moulded dressings, roof of Welsh slate. In the Queen Anne style. There is a symmetrical front of three storeys and fourteen windows to Clerkenwell Road, with a slightly projecting centrepiece of two windows, and outer, slightly projecting bays of three windows; there are also a wing of two storeys and eleven windows in Britton Street, and a canted two-storey bay to the corner; the windows throughout the building are typically flat-arched with the lower part of the gauged brick head cut back in an ogee profile, and the glazing bars are original throughout, so far as visible. Three round-arched entrances in Clerkenwell Road, the central entrance broader; the outer entrances have pilasters, stilted arch and archivolt; the entrances are flanked by fluted Doric pilasters which overlap their mouldings in a way typical of the building; these carry an entablature with triglyph frieze, festoons and drops, and a pediment, that to the centre segmental. Each entrance has a doorcase with a wooden cornice and scrolled pedimented central panel to the fanlight. Two sets of three windows between the entrances, their architraves unmoulded apart from the ogee heads and overlapping the simple entablature which runs between the entrances. On the first floor the outer bays have three round-arched windows with a decorative transom running across at springing level; they are flanked by pilasters with capitals at the springing and a second shorter range of pilasters above, the spandrels filled with festoons and drops; pediments with raking cornice; the central bay has two flat-arched windows flanked by pilasters supporting the main cornice, and two oculi above, flanked by pilasters supporting a segmental pediment; two sets of three flat-arched windows to either side, overlapping and interrupting the frieze of festoons; cornice with dentil and egg-and-dart mouldings; pedimented dormers in mansard roof; stacks with triglyph frieze and deeply projecting cornice. The wing in Britton Street and the corner bay continue the detailing from Clerkenwell Road, with plain architraves overlapping the horizontal mouldings, though the two storeys are both taller than in Clerkenwell Road. A frieze of scrolling foliage runs across the ground floor, and the ground-floor windows are divided into lower and upper lights at that point; the upper floor has a frieze of swags and drops, plus aprons of ogee profile to the windows; the cornice and parapet continue, with an aedicule to the corner with scrolled consoles, fluted pilasters, segmental pediment and central cartouche inscribed 'HOLBORN UNION OFFICES 1886'; stacks with triglyph frieze and cornice; lantern, square in plan, with ogee lead roof and finial.

While riding my recumbent trike through the parking lot of an office park I saw an interesting-looking office and decided to get a closer look. After parking the trike I walked up to the glass door at the office entrance and saw this. The door's glass acted as a steadying surface for my "camera." I wondered what activity produced such a scene. The time was 11:50 p.m.
