Flexible work arrangements have gained prevalence in the post-Covid world, but "working from home" or "home-based work" do not always mean precisely that anymore.
Many office workers are instead eyeing "third spaces" – the "liminal or interstitial space between home and work", as researchers from the NUS Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and NUS College of Design and Engineering explained at the recent "Visualising Home-Based Work" workshop. Part of the inaugural Ideas Festival 2024, it showcased insights from humanities and social science researchers in Singapore.
