How to create a collaborative physical space

Dr Joy Salmon wrote to tell me about an article in Fast Company that describes
how Stanford’s d.school is creating a collaborative physical space to
enhance creativity/learning. 

Joy thought "the ideas for creating these physical
spaces could apply to those moving toward creating collaborative
e-spaces/culture".  I think she's right too. The ideas in the article are worth following up.

Here's the link to the article: 11 ways you can make your space as collaborative as the Stanford d.school.

Thanks Joy, for telling me about it
