      abstract = {This is an Open Access book. Hoping to incubate a unique  idea about workplace design, Dr. Agustin Chevez walked in  isolation for 42 days from Melbourne to Sydney. His  pilgrimage delivered 34 Signposts, a collection of insights  which hold the promise to guide us to a better place to  work. While firmly positioned within the shifting context  of work, the Signposts point away from reactive solutions  with a short shelf life. Instead, these markers are infused  with a diversity of thought instilled by Agustins  pilgrimage and reclaim the forgotten qualities of solitude,  boredom, adversity, and absurdity as mechanisms to deliver  innovation and create improved working environments. On his  way to Sydney Agustin relied on maps and people with local  knowledge of the lands he traversed. Similarly, in this  book, he consults people with local knowledge in various  design disciplines, management, and technology as he  navigates the many regions of the workplace and work  practices covered by the Signposts. When he reaches the end  of the known trails, he starts laying paths that take us  closer to where the Signposts converge. Agustin writes from  the perspective of a pilgrim, architect, workplace  consultant, and researcher and invites you to join him as a  fellow pilgrim. You will be rewarded with a journey that  revisits our assumptions about the way we use space to host  the ever-evolving notion of work an expedition leading not  only to better versions of the workplace, but a better  version of ourselves.},
