Ben & Jerry's new flavor: Fancier stores
Fortune
From Sept. 5: In its first redesign under Unilever, funky scoop shop Ben & Jerry's goes upscale and global. Gone is the "children's playground" feel of the previous store design. In its place? Light fixtures made of antique milk bottles, pastoral farm murals and hardwood-style tile.
6 psych tips for creating the ideal work space
PsyBlog
From Sept. 12: There you are, sitting in the office, as usual, working away. Look away from the screen for a moment and what do you see? How tidy is your desk? Is it an open-plan office? Is there a view out of the window? Are there any plants in sight? Did you personally choose the decorations near your desk? All these factors and more have interesting psychological effects on how people work and how good they feel about it. So here are six tips, based on psychological research, for creating the ideal work space.

The idea is that open spaces promote community spirit and give workers a sense of team. But a new study based on a survey of more than 42,000 office workers in 303 office buildings finds no evidence to support this claim.
What is the office of the future?
Entrepreneur
From Sept. 5: Once upon a time, a person asked to envision the workspace of the future might have detailed the trappings of a space-age utopia: robots, flying pods and out-of-this-world architecture. But ask today's architects about tomorrow's office, and the conversation is more likely to include touchpoints such as communication, collaboration and integration. Instead of being out of this world, the next wave of offices is down to earth — and, to a greater extent, designed around employees' needs and specific company cultures.

Healthcare Design
From Sept. 19: Health care professionals are turning to technology to both diagnose and treat patients, calling for environments that feel less like exam rooms and more like office space.
