Because it's been bothering me...

Has anyone ever written a thesis applying Foucault's analysis of the Panopticon to the design of open-concept offices?

I've never seen the executives sitting in the open area, though, however "teamy" they get.

Oh and let's not forget the noise! Open Concept offices can get very distracting. How can anyone think this is a good idea (beyond saving on structural components, I suppose)?

You work in publishing, yes?
