a modification of the open-office design in which emphasis is given to the interaction of people, such that the arrangement of work spaces is based on patterns of communication and facilitation of work flow. Landscaped offices typically place supervisors near workers and group people who communicate regularly with one another to perform their job duties in the same or adjacent spaces. Portable screens or partitions and other movable items, such as planters or cabinets, are used to separate areas and divide them into a variety of different yet easily accessible work spaces.
