2 billion+ square feet of new office space has been built worldwide in the past 30 years,however 49% of this work space currently lies under-occupied at any one time (ManhattanAnalytics :2014). Fuelled by changing work patterns & a rapid advance in technology, workhas become agile, distributed & flexible with an increasingly mobile workforce. Additionally,rigid leasing structure, inflexible rental agreements, strict covenants & a one-size-fits-allapproach have trapped companies into corporate footprints incompatible with modern workpatterns.The traditional office is increasingly becoming commercially obsolete & technologically illequipped to meet the demands of the mobile workforce. To address, we intend to develop anintegrated Mobile Work space Platform that will enable any business centre, empty work spaceor under utilised office to instantly become an accessible, integrated mobile work space -tapping into the huge demand for flexible, collaborative work environments.Utilising beacon hardware & location-based connection algorithms, the platform will consistof the key three elements;1. Access – a work space management system incorporating ‘plug and play’ beacon hardware& software to allow mobile workers to discover, access & use facilities near wherever theyare;2. Connection – an integrated suite of embedded desktop, project management & productivitytools on a single platform3. Collaboration – a proximity-based social & skills network to facilitate interaction betweenpeople, projects & workplaces.This low cost, impact solution to the problem of unde rutilised existing office space has thepotential to change the way space is let to worker and companies – opening up a potential£200m secondary market for under-used work space (DTZ:2015).Our ambition is to move far beyond simple ecommerce sites that list work space and design atechnology platform to turn any empty work space into an instantly accessible, integrated on demandworkplace.

在过去的30年里，全球新建了20多亿平方英尺的办公空间，但目前有49%的工作空间在任何时候都没有得到充分利用（ManhattanAnalytics：2014）。在不断变化的工作模式和技术的快速进步的推动下，随着越来越多的移动的员工，工作变得敏捷、分散和灵活。此外，僵化的租赁结构、不灵活的租赁协议、严格的契约和一刀切的做法使公司陷入了与现代工作模式不兼容的企业足迹。传统的办公室在商业上越来越过时，技术上也越来越落后，无法满足移动的员工的需求。为了解决这个问题，我们打算开发一个集成的移动的工作空间平台，使任何商业中心，空的工作空间或未充分利用的办公室立即成为一个可访问的，集成的移动的工作空间-利用灵活的，协作的工作环境的巨大需求。访问-一个工作空间管理系统，包括“即插即用”信标硬件和软件，允许移动的工人发现，访问和使用附近的设施，无论他们在哪里;2。Connection -在单一平台上集成了嵌入式桌面、项目管理和生产力工具的套件3。协作-一个基于邻近的社交和技能网络，以促进人员，项目和工作场所之间的互动。这种低成本，对现有办公空间利用不足问题的影响解决方案有可能改变空间出租给工人和公司的方式-为未充分利用的工作空间开辟潜在的2亿英镑二级市场（DTZ：2015）。我们的目标是超越简单的电子商务网站，列出工作空间，并设计一个技术平台，将任何空闲的工作空间变成一个即时访问的，按需集成的工作场所。
