| Description: |
Like working hours, which have changed significantly over
the years, so too have the places in which we work.
Offices, once enclosed to ensure privacy are now, in many
cases, open and transparent, with few dividing screens.
Finishes and materials once used exclusively in homes now
appear in offices, creating warm environments conducive to
productivity and creativity.
New attitudes to collaborative work have encouraged the
development of 'breakout' spaces, informal meeting areas,
and fully equipped kitchens and entertainment areas. New
technology used in offices has led to changes in design, as
have the expectations of employees for more pleasant
working environments that incorporate natural light,
ventilation and flexibility in the use of space.
The book explores, through full-colour photographs and
descriptive text, more than 50 different offices, from home
offices, experimental spaces, and traditional offices, to
those more akin to 5-star hotels. The author's aim is to
encourage us all to re-think our workspaces.
