I'm back in the office today, after a week working remotely.
Much as I enjoy working from home, or other locations, I am glad to be back in EG's Procter Street hub. Working from home is an excellent way of concentrating on particualr tasks, getting copy edited and sent to the sub-editing desks and clearing e-mail.
But the social buzz of the office is still the best way of generating ideas. If we do, as a culture, shift towards a more mobile working paradigim, then our office spaces are going to have to develop to reflect their primarily social role.

I entirely agree. Working from home would occasionally be helpful to me - but the main reason for being at work is so that I can get at various people in my office, get ideas from them, give them my own ideas, etc. It's invaluable for any kind of creative/collaborative work - with feedback from both the technical and the business side of the fence the stuff I produce wouldn't be nearly as good.
