The French Ministry of the Economy and Finance building, which was built in the 80s, is very interesting in this regard in a way which is not to dissimilar to the modularity of office buildings pre-open plan. [0]

I had the chance of joining a tour there years ago. Everything is build on a grid of 90cm cube modules and most rooms are bounded by movable panels - some plain other made of glass - which can be moved to reconfigure the space. That’s supposed to offer some flexibility as to how the building works.
