A cascade of regulatory, technological and cultural shifts is reshaping German offices this year, from mandatory cyber-risk checks on every workstation to office-floor plans that have shrunk by more than a third at major institutions. The changes reflect a broader rethinking of where, how and with what tools people work.<\/p>\n

The BMW Foundation Herbert Quandt cut its Berlin footprint from 950 to 600 square metres, converting the leftover space into an innovationscentre.
