Now offices function as both a companys individual calling card and an inspiring work environment. Office architecture has flourished into a complex discipline that is continually developing new problem-solving approaches that put the distinctive needs of individual employees front and centre and, in doing so, foster communication, motivation and achievement. This volume presents over 100 projects from around the globe, incorporating local and firm specific examples of office architecture and putting the newest insights of research into the workplace to the test: from the creatively designed workspace of the start-up, via the multifunctional office separated into flexible zones and devoid of fixed work places, to elaborately furnished and prestigious offices. Each of these office worlds is also a habitat, a source of unique fascination and inspiration.
