    Control, Communication and its

    correlation with space planning.


    The functions of office space are a system of
    control and communication. Also coined as
    "cybernetics" by Dr. Nobert Weiner in 1948. In an
    office, since work is done through the functioning of
    the brain and computer, both symbolize control
    and communication. Hence, they are known as
    functions of the office.
    Since all the spatial planning and organizational
    decisions are made to facilitate the efficient
    functioning of an office, control and
    communication become the prime aspects of
    being facilitated.
    Spatial performance results from the capacity
    of the space to influence human factors such
    that control and communication are efficiently
    facilitated. Hence to understand spatial performance,
    the aspects of spatial planning become the factors
    influencing, and control and communication become
    the parameters amongst human factors which are
    influenced by the spatial organization.
    Amongst control and communication, control of
    any complexity is exercised through people
    making decisions. This cannot be done without
    the aid of communication since it provides the
    data which forms the basis and direction for
    action to carry out controlling decisions. Hence,
    control and communication are interrelated where
    control is making decisions in a form which leads
    to their implementation but it cannot be effective
    if communication does not convey the context in
    which decisions are to be made.
    Control
    In an office organization, control can be understood
    by the competence of employees to be mobile
    within the office and to use all range of spaces
    available which leads to choosing and employees
    having control over their work environment.
    Control in work processing is also looked at through
    the fundamentals of a closed-loop system, where
    a set of technological tools regulate a process
    through the connectivity of various mechanical
    and electronic devices which facilitates work
    from anywhere in the office, making the work
    mobile as well as allowing virtual connectivity. Tele-
    communicating and virtual connectivity are very
    important in today's times where work is possible
    from anywhere around the globe.
