Happy 8th Birthday To Us
June marks eight years since Createscape first opened our doors. Happy birthday to us! A lot has changed since the summer of 2014. “Fancy” by Iggy Azalea was the number one song, Maleficent, starring Angelina Jolie had just premiered on the big screen, and soccer champions – Germany and Argentina – were battling it out for the FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
This History of Coworking
The word “coworking” was established in 1999 by Bernard De Koven. He wrote, “When I coined the word coworking, I was describing a phenomenon I called ‘working together as equals.’” In 2005 the first official coworking space was opened in San Francisco by a computer programmer named Brad Neuberg. The office, which didn’t seem to have a name, was inspired by hackerspaces of the mid to late 1990s.
