Five ways to make the most of your coworking space using Nexudus Spaces
Since we started Nexudus Spaces, we've been lucky to work with hundreds of coworking spaces all over the world. Daily contact with different spaces has not only helped us improve the platform, we've also been able to spot common management patterns and needs. Generally, as a space grows, it is faced with more and more daily tasks, which can become a headache if the correct tools haven't been considered or implemented.

Can companies implement the coworking model?
In recent years, **the coworking movement has broadened**; there are more and more spaces, which reach an increasingly wider community and have attracted investments of around $1bn in the last year. This has undoubtedly helped the concept be progressively more "in trend" and the number of medium-sized and large companies interested in the ins and outs of the model is on the rise. As a result, there are also more events and training programmes aimed at promoting collaboration in professional working environments.

Coworking, maps and learning
Throughout history, man has been interested in mapping everything that surrounds him, whether the lands are well known, recently discovered or imaginary. As a tool, maps have always been essential to help us locate ourselves in the world, but they also influence how we perceive it. For example, to represent earth, which is a geoid, cartographers use a projection system to move the geometry of a sphere to a [two-dimensional plane](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_map_projections ""). But, as well as representing the contours, surfaces and angles, they have to decide what other information is relevant and should appear on the map. In one way or another, this conditions the way that we perceive things and learn.

Coworking and the future of cities
The second half of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st have seen the most important technological revolution of all time. The Internet exploded and has helped make society more connected, has made large amounts of information available in real time and the cloud a work tool or for developing services and products. The coming decades show promise to be exciting when it comes to technological advances: self-driving cars, drones, machine learning, big data, etc. Nowadays, it's not easy to filter tonnes of technological data that we're subject to every day. In an interview with the BBC, Nicholas Carr, offers an interesting reflection on the role that technology will have in the society's future.

#Coworking nom noms!
Food brings people together. When there's delicious grub on the table, it doesn't really matter if the diners didn't know each other before, if they come from different cultures or speak different languages. The food always ends up doing the talking. Eating doesn't only satisfy a physiological need, it's also a social and cultural phenomenon. In coworking spaces, "collisions" between coworkers happen on a daily basis and food can often be a means or an excuse for such. Examples are biscuits baked by a coworker, a birthday cake, sweets brought back from a trip. They're all excuses for bringing people to share something together, strengthening community links and generating interaction.

Squeezing every last drop out of #Coworking at this year’s Juicy ;) #GCUCUSA
It might be because it's my first time at GCUCUSA or that I stepped foot in the States, but the past two days at the conference have sped by. This time the conference took place in Berkeley at [Nextspace](http://nextspace.us/ "Nextspace Berkeley"). Although the format is slightly different to other conferences such as _CW Europe, CUASIA or CWsC_, many of the open debates and subjects discussed are similar and based on business models, difficulties, collaboration or the coworking movement's future. The **"Unconference"** format takes the spotlight at Juicy, during which the participants put forward what they want to talk about.

Will #coworking exist in 10 000 years? Slow the pace, it’s not a race
Technology has accelerated the speed at which we are living and communicating with each other. Just like a Twitter feed, what happened yesterday is already old news. Sometimes we need to stop and mull things over to have a wider perspective. Recently, while reading the book [The Clock of the Long](http://www.amazon.co.uk/Clock-Long-Now-Responsibility-Computer/dp/0465007805 "") Now by [Stewart Brand](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewart_Brand ""), I came across one of its best known diagrams, which I believe could help us analyse or look back on the last 10 years of the coworking movement. Stewart Brand separates civilisation into six different layers, each of which changes at its own speed. For example, there is a significant gap between the almost ethereal tempo at which fashion moves and the rhythm of nature.
