Open-plan offices are making workers sick, say Australian scientists | Top Stories | News.com.au
I must be an anomaly, I love open plans better than cubes or offices. I like the energy and collaboration. I often sneak away from the office to go work in a coffee shop. I do think that with open plans you need to have "quiet spaces" shared offices for private phone calls and stuff.

The traditional office work environment and tools are still around, but at a very rapid pace, they’re being supplanted by newer and better tools, newer and better ways of working. The old rules are being broken, and new ones are emerging.
You could call this the Workplace of the Future, as not all businesses have adopted these models, and it will be a few years before these new rules are the norm. But for many people (myself included), this is the Workplace of Today — there’s no need to wait for new technologies or tools, because they’re already here.
