Coworking Spaces - a Journey through the Concepts
summary
Runs a coworking space in Hamburg for two years and distills practical rules: five pillars—openness, community, accessibility, sustainability, collaboration—guide space design and programming. Recommends judging spaces by community members not square meters, using membership for regulars and day passes for ad hoc users, and testing on-site (many offer free trial days). Mentions tools and networks like Copass and betahaus for multi-city access and stresses co-working means people-centered community, not just shared furniture.
