Building upon my Masters in Design Studies’ capstone research, I am looking at the future of coworking spaces in New York. I aim to collect current research, examine it, and finally speculate about the future of this spatial typology if millions of square feet of office space are suddenly abandoned. Coworking spaces were, before the Covid-19 crisis, a rapidly expanding business model, and a cultural phenomenon, with more than 80 million square feet and 3 million users globally. United States, and more specifically New York leads the coworking market, with around 15 million square feet until January 2020. However, this industry, like many other globally, is going through its largest and more complex existential crisis. My proposed summer research will incorporate these data and references, and through interviews with renowned academics, coworking owners, designers, and business specialists, the project will speculate about the future of coworking spaces.
