Icons placed on the black stripe that runs along the walls as well as the doors serve as a visual code which allows employees and guests to identify the function of each space.

The connection between learning styles and the impact on work design was first brought to light last year at our event in Washington, DC when panelist Arnold Levin touched on the subject at our about designing for choice in the workplace event. He then followed up with a series of articles that discussed this concept in more detail. That is how interesting the topic is, and why we wanted to continue the discussion. Guest moderator Cheryl Durst, the executive vice president and CEO of the International Interior Design Association, deftly led the lively and provocative discussion on how work place strategists and designers can learn from the educational community. Meeting in the newly completed IIDA HQ learning center, the conversation got off to a quick start.

Architects and designers are being charged to create offices with relaxed vibes in mind in the hope that it will blur the distinction between home and office, making the latter a more appealing place for employees to spend time with colleagues. Convincing workers to stay in the office is hard at the best of times. But it's made harder still by employees who are accustomed to working remotely, managing their own schedules, and staying in their pajamas until noon.

What makes a good leader? The answer varies widely depending whom you ask. Whether you're talking to researchers or practitioners, there's not a lot of consensus.
