Forecasting coworking

[Justin White]

For our spring semester architecture studio at UW-Milwaukee, which
focused on designing ways for Milwaukee to adapt to the challenges of
the new urban age, we looked at the exciting emergence of coworking
facilities across the U.S.

We discovered that architectural strategies can help coworking
facilities, but too often a low cash flow turns a coworking start-up
into a bare-bones DIY project. So we wrote a manual to help facility
owners, current coworkers, and those new to coworking get the most out
of their space. We discuss what to look for in selecting the location
of a new building and common problems of coworking facilities that
result from combining autonomy and social interaction.

In order to share our work and research with a greater audience, so we
made the manual available on Lulu (http://www.lulu.com/product/
paperback/forecasting-coworking-architectural-strategies-for-your-
coworking-space/10979195). We hope the book can help you in your
coworking endeavors!

Citizen Space received it's copy last week; we ordered from LuLu. I've
only been able to skim it so far but am impressed by what I've seen. A
lot of thought has clearly been invested in this work.

organizing The Productive; the illustrations are particularly
helpful. Thank you so much!

Just finsihed the book. Great job; lots of interesting stuff. I
found it very useful in understanding the architectural issues
associated with choosing a location and designing a space. And while
the book appears to be mostly targeted at space owners/managers, I
think anyone interested in coworking would find it well worth
reading.

Justin, Ted, and Cassie!

I'm a recent transplant to Milwaukee from NYC and looking at the possibility of opening a coworking location Downtown. Would love to speak to you in person, giving your schedules are accommodating.

I look forward to hearing from you. I'll also be picking up a copy of your book.

Best,
