Funny how things change. Cubicles were the poster child for dystopian corporate office environments in the 90s. And "office landscapes" were a know humanistic take on open plan developed in 50s and 60s as a response to rows of desks in the open plan offices of the pre-war period [1]. I quite like the idea of the library model - all communal space is quiet by default with many small rooms for and hoc discussion. It would take serious will to introduce it in most offices though.
