Join IxDA Seattle for Movie Club, where we watch and discuss a design related movie or documentary. This month, we'll be watching Workplace, directed by Gary Hustwit (Helvetica, Objectified, Urbanized, etc.).
Hundreds of millions of human beings spend billions of hours in offices every day. How can we make them better places for people to work and collaborate? What's the next wave of digital tools to connect the office, the city, and the planet? How has the office evolved over the last 100 years? And do we even need offices anymore?
Workplace was a project for the 2016 Venice Architecture Biennale about the past, present, and future of the office. It looks at the thinking, innovation, and experimentation involved in creating the next evolution of what the office could be. Workplace follows the design and construction of the New York headquarters of digital agency R/GA while experimenting with how physical and digital space can better interact. Digital technology has radically changed how and where most of us work, but the physical spaces we work in haven’t kept up with that transformation.
We will start our online watch party at 5:30 pm, followed by a discussion session with our panelists at 6:35 pm.
💎 You can watch the film for free and at your own convenience prior to the event, or you can bring your popcorn and watch it with us.
