Abstract
This paper is concerned with two approaches to designing spaces for knowledge work. The central concern of the
first approach is with the use of fictional descriptions of the workplace, in order to stimulate creative thought about
new workspaces. The second approach draws on the emerging potential of three dimensional virtual reality as a tool
to develop shared visions and to stimulate creativity. The paper ends by summarising findings in three important
dimensions of knowledge management in business:
(a) The nature of knowledge work and its workspace requirements
(b) Specific processes for developing creatively shared insights and understandings by potential users about
future knowledge spaces
(c) The overall philosophy of design of such spaces
