I found that the goals u described at the end of the workshop, and on your final poster, are really important to define new User Experiences related to the way of working and sharing knowledge. P.S. I collected some pictures about the workshop. Here u find the making of the poster: http://www.flickr.com/photos/danielegaliffa/723818786/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/danielegaliffa/722943187/ Ciao Nicolas,

People at work often prefer having their own workplace (which they can decorate/personalize) intstead of anonymous tables & wires. Here it's an identity issue at work. When we loose rituals at work, we also loose inner sense! Blurring the gab between home & work looks like a subtle way to disguise another business-like dream: make people available whenever projects require them to be... In doing so, have we still a private life anymore? Plus it all depends on the reality of your daily and real professional activity. Workplaces should be designed after an ergonomic study that helps revealing individual/collective activities at work. It's like discovering what's at stakes before any system development process. Nomadic Work = nomadic worker = flexible worker = replaceable worker = Precarious Work ? Just some thoughts...
