Where the Ward Stops

The Seams of a Regional Training College's Simulated Workplaces

A paper from the School of Underlying Conditions offers a work of building criticism on the five full-scale simulated workplaces housed in the workshop hall of a regional training college: a ward bay, a kitchen line, a house frame, a switchroom and a hotel room. From a measured survey and ten mornings of watching them in use, it finds that each replica stops where the occupation it rehearses hands the work to another, reads the seams as built job descriptions, and argues against the proposal to finish the rooms.
