Work-activity structure, technology, differences in lifestyles, physical and social criteria of the environment, sustainability, psychological state of the user have played a major role by shaping working spaces that is in the transformed architecture until today. Civilisations’ workspaces ensured the continuation of daily life work and impacted the efficiency of the employee and quality of the work.
