Office Design (Design Books)


Office Design (Design Books)
Publisher: daab; Bilingual edition (August 2005)
Language: English

At the beginning of the 19th century, Charles Fourrier observed that citizens' lives were marked not by the home but by the office; 200 years later, this somewhat eccentric statement expresses the reality of post-industrial society: In Western countries, one of the consequences of the globalization of the economy has been the concentration of workers in the tertiary sector; more than half of the population works in offices. Offices have become domestic, the relationship between workmates has become closer and their workplace seems increasingly like a club or house in which they spend the greater part of the day. All presented projects feature inspiring ideas of designing more efficient, modern and more pleasant working environments.
