What do the interiors for this look like? Technical innovations take place almost on a daily basis, and the way we work is constantly changing. Of course, this has an impact on the appearance of our offices, our workplaces, our training facilities – which no longer have to be confined to a fixed location. It is challenging for companies to meet the rapid development of working life in spatial terms. We believe that every business is people’s business. Motivated, creative employees make the difference. Smart working environments ensure the motivation and creativity of employees, and design and architecture play a central role in the creation of smart working environments. But where are these smart working worlds? The bestworkspaces.com platform looks for and awards the best workspaces, office buildings and products, presents inspiring ideas, provides access to the most important findings from research and teaching, and networks the decision-makers of companies with designers, planners, and manufacturers dealing with modern working environments.
The vision behind bestworkspaces.com is to present the best and internationally pioneering spatial concepts on one platform. They will be identified by an independent architectural competition. An international jury of experts assesses the submitted projects on the basis of predefined criteria in order to ensure maximum transparency. The results are published in a high-quality publication and online. The Workspace of the Year and Architects’ Choice will be ceremoniously presented during an event. The presented projects and products are put into a solution-oriented, architectural, and design context and complemented with informations about products.
Clients as well as planners and concept developers (manufacturers, architects, interior designers, consultants) can submit their projects and products and face the jury’s vote. If selected, our editorial staff will edit the projects exclusively and present them with photos, background story, information on planners and products including contact details and services. The visibility of the award-winning projects and products and thus the attractiveness of the companies and planners improves by implication and sets them apart positively from competitors in the industry and on the job market. The highlight of the year is a conference accompanying the award ceremony for the Workspace of the Year and Architects’ Choice, to which all nominees and pioneers from the fields of business, architecture, and science are invited.

The Center for Corporate Architecture and Spatial Identity explores the interface between architecture and communication. The initiators at Berlin’s Quadriga University are convinced that space and communication belong together. Companies are – also – spatial and space-related entities. That’s why they think architecturally, and why architecture plays a role in their activities. The research center was initiated by Dr. Alexander Gutzmer, professor at Quadriga University and long-standing editor-in-chief of the architecture magazine Baumeister.
