Interesting; makes me see the potential of a coworking space from a very different perspective — not as "a bunch of businesses renting space" but rather as a generalization of a maker-space, for people who aren't necessarily making physical goods. Though admittedly it'd be really cool if there was a co-working space that included maker-space facilities, both for the constant use of the people who are makers, and for the less-frequent use by the people who aren't. (And so that the people who are makers would end up seated next to the people who aren't. This starts to get into "arts college" territory — where someone doing an illustration project can wander over to a friend in the woodworking department to get their illustration turned into a carving...) Heck, while we're at it, let's throw in other facilities that would lure in people with complementary skillsets to most businesses. A teeny-tiny colo in the basement for your dev servers! Podcast recording rooms! A screening room for videos!
