The pandemic emergency started in the 2020th made the Smart working an immediately necessity and it has accelerated his claim, forcing people to work from home. It will keep going even after for sure, so there is the need to develop a new concept of workspace to share with safety and freedom. This changing is also destined to have an impact on emissions that cannot be overlooked. Lots of people still working from home and in the future this number will multiply as this new vision facilitates collaboration between departments and teams located around the world. Unexpectedly, the solutions adopted to deal with emergencies and crisis will be a strategic benefit for every business able to find the potential. That is why we are already talking of “hybrid working culture” that want facilitate the remote work and motivate the potential of an intelligently distributed workforce as well. To contribute to the definition of tools and ideas to design new spaces dedicated to new forms of work, the research aims to build a framework of knowledge on workspaces. Secondly, to investigate the localization dynamics of new work activities as hybridization between physical and digital. As last to develop the possible forms of spaces and settings that will characterize the hybrid-work spaces in the future. All these points to reorganize work, services, cities and territories, with positive results on the entire ecosystem.

Stefania Leonetti is PhD student in Architecture and Design Course at the University of Camerino, where she carries out research on the transformation of work spaces. After some training and research experiences in Spain and Argentina on the role of public space in urban redevelopment processes. she is currently paying particular attention to the forms of new working relationships induced by the pandemic crisis in order to understand, from an architectural point of view, the implications both in the urban context and in the architectural definition of work spaces.
