Furniture in Space with Clutter

This (slide 6) is a blowup of a plan from, like, a 1940s or ‘50s German office building. This was the idea of an open office plan where you could be flexible and you could be within reach of all the pieces that you needed, and someone else could be off over in their own world. But this creates spatial clutter. Freestanding furniture is going to be just as much an issue to navigate through as the architectural walls and the space.
