From cramped cubicles to collaborative open-plan setups, a lot
has changed since the creation of the modern office – but it
doesn't stop there.

In this episode, we'll be exploring the question of why and how
the modern office was created and look at some of the
developments that led us to this place.

The concept of the modern office and its prevalence worldwide

The historical absence of dedicated indoor workspaces

The emergence of the first large offices in the late 17th and
early 18th centuries

The Old Admiralty Office and its significance as the
headquarters of the British Navy

The paperwork-dominated tasks of early offices

The impact of the typewriter on office work and the increased
presence of women in offices

The layout of offices during the typewriter era

The invention of the cubicle and its popularity in office
design

Alternative office arrangements, including open-plan offices
and their criticisms
