After, by conducting a research on workplaces in office buildings, investigate how an introverted person would feel in some of these spaces, for then, identify characteristics and strategies that can create an adequate office environment.
The last part of this work is a practical application of the research conducted, by designing an office building in a large city, considering the best attributes identified to create an innovative office space.
