I have known in my gut that there is something unspeakably wrong about cubicles. I quit my last job largely because of the cubicle factor. Now my friend Nahum Gershon has sent me articles backing up my instincts. Workers of the world unite. You have nothing to lose but your synthetic partitions.
Nahum’s links here.

Hooray! Others on the smashing cubicles bandwagon. They are horrid things that must be eliminated for the true creativity and productivity of people to flourish.

Never worked in a cubicle, and even if I would have been outside quite some time to connect with people to solve problems and new tasks.
If have worked five years at the new plant at BMW Leipzig, which is representing a huge CoWorking space in some sense. http://bmw-werk-leipzig.de to get a glimpse of it.
Now I am working to establish an innovative CoWorking space in Dresden.
