他們和愛(ài)因斯坦一樣,因自己的發(fā)明而后悔

????5.辦公隔間 ????1968年,也就是美劇《廣告狂人》的主角們經(jīng)常能在私人辦公室的沙發(fā)上睡一個(gè)奢侈午覺(jué)的年代,羅伯特?普洛斯特提出了一個(gè)頗具未來(lái)主義的辦公室裝修格調(diào),這種辦公室沒(méi)有真正意義上的墻和門(mén)。 ????他發(fā)明的“動(dòng)感辦公室”在當(dāng)時(shí)看來(lái)是個(gè)很好的主意:有別于以外的開(kāi)放式格局,這些壁板既是一個(gè)能夠讓人專(zhuān)心工作的空間,也給窩在小格子里的小白領(lǐng)們提供了更多的臺(tái)面,價(jià)格也更便宜。 ????不過(guò)在80歲那年,普洛斯特對(duì)《財(cái)富》雜志回憶道:“他們一再壓縮‘動(dòng)感辦公室’的空間,使它最終成了一個(gè)小格子。”后來(lái)他非常后悔自己參與創(chuàng)造了這種“千篇一律的瘋狂”。 |
????5.Cubicles ????In 1968, a year in which Mad Men characters are regularly depicted taking luxurious naps on their private office couches, Robert Propst proposed a futuristic office style with no real walls or doors. ????His creation, the Action Office, seemed like a good idea at the time: instead of an open air layout, the walls would provide places to pin up work and there would be more surfaces for the cube-dwellers. It was also cheaper. ????But as Propst recalled to Fortune at age 80, "They kept shrinking the Action Office until it became a cubicle,” and later he regretted his role in creating this “monolithic insanity.” |
