520 This is an Open Access book. Hoping to incubate a unique
idea about workplace design, Dr. Agustin Chevez walked in
isolation for 42 days from Melbourne to Sydney. His
pilgrimage delivered 34 Signposts, a collection of
insights which hold the promise to guide us to a better
place to work. While firmly positioned within the shifting
context of work, the Signposts point away from reactive
solutions with a short shelf life. Instead, these markers
are infused with a diversity of thought instilled by
Agustins pilgrimage and reclaim the forgotten qualities of
solitude, boredom, adversity, and absurdity as mechanisms
to deliver innovation and create improved working
environments. On his way to Sydney Agustin relied on maps
and people with local knowledge of the lands he traversed.
Similarly, in this book, he consults people with local
knowledge in various design disciplines, management, and
technology as he navigates the many regions of the
workplace and work practices covered by the Signposts.
When he reaches the end of the known trails, he starts
laying paths that take us closer to where the Signposts
converge. Agustin writes from the perspective of a pilgrim,
architect, workplace consultant, and researcher and
invites you to join him as a fellow pilgrim. You will be
rewarded with a journey that revisits our assumptions
about the way we use space to host the ever-evolving
notion of work an expedition leading not only to better
versions of the workplace, but a better version of
ourselves.
