New Zealand’s First National Coworking Day

The pacific nation is pulling off a pretty awesome publicity campaign for coworking.

Let’s get behind this campaign and spread the word.

Nope, this isn’t Sci-Fi. Malaysian architect Haseef Rafiei’s totally innovative approach to building skyscrapers uses 3D printed reusable ‘pods’ slotted into place by cranes, lowered from the top down. The pods can be designed for any use – workspace, apartments, nurseries, fitness centers – and can be hoisted back up for storage once vacated. It’s like playing Connect 4 on an industrial scale.
