There's meditation areas, there's gyms, there's napping, rent-by-the-hour napping rooms, which I imagine are used for all manner of... Fundamentally, by the way, I mean, the built environment in every respect has not caught up with technology. And it's actually, I think it's a total failure. It's largely probably because you can't measure. But I always think, okay...

There's nowhere at a station in a concourse. They've got all these walls around the edges which are underused. Now, just put a shelf there for people to put a laptop on, okay? There are trains with no tables, which drives me practically insane because apparently it's worth spending $120 billion.

to reduce the time spent on a train between London and Manchester, but actually putting a table on a train so the person can work for an hour rather than basically sitting there like a Tyrannosaurus Rex trying to type on their knees. That's considered apparently an unworthy expense compared to time-saving on the actual journey itself.

And offices will need to actually fundamentally adapt to the fact that patterns of work are different. and that you probably need fewer meeting rooms and you need more pods. But also, the open plan office was insufficiently variegated. So if you take people who are non-neurotypical, for example, you know, I mean, my argument is that to some extent, the perfect office is not an open plan space.

It's 50% library, 50% pub. In other words, half of it should be hyper-social and a bit noisy for people. I actually like working in cafes.
