Workplaces can be considered as secondary housing units and that is why the way they are designed aims to create a "perfect" balance between focused work and the levels of cooperation, in order to improve productivity and overall employee well-being. Furthermore, office spaces are a complex functional pattern, in which the design has to meet the ever-changing needs of employees and employers. The present research paper, therefore, focuses on the designing of workplaces and examines the stages of the transition, starting from the Industrial Revolution and then to the Modern Movement, where architecture embraces the concepts of time and variability, until today. The new age of information, has imposed intensification of networking, and the means that secured it, have led to the need for not clearly designated place. The nomadic work style created a necessity for multipurpose spaces in addition to the defined workspace. New technology has acted as a turning point in this transition since it not only works to guide people to interact in time and space, but it also forms a "suitable" ground for a new way of designing. Compared to previous decades, architecture now aims to integrate the concept of variability in a more sophisticated way, designing office spaces that respond to the environmental stimuli and adapt to the circumstances contextually. Given the situation, the conclusion is that the design of office spaces, as well as the architecture as a whole, owes to redefine its purpose. For that reason, the incorporation of variability in the design is deemed a necessary condition and not a design choice.
