Abstract

How have the foundational ideas of workplace design shaped the way we think about work today? In this episode, Despina Katsikakis is joined by Professor John Worthington, co-founder of DEGW, and Dr Hiral Patel, curator of the DEGW Living Archive, to reflect on the principles that redefined the relationship between organisations, technology, and place. From smart buildings and flexible work to experience-led design and integrative briefing, they explore how DEGW’s thinking moved beyond efficiency to focus on intentionality, adaptability, and meaningful work—lessons that remain highly relevant in today’s evolving workplace landscape. This was episode 10 of Purpose of Place: The Future of Work and Real Estate podcast hosted by Despina Katsikakis.
