BEST OF DETAIL OFFICE
Working café, business club or open-space, group or cubicle office – the
range of different office workspaces is increasing with the growing
percentage of office work in our modern service society. Due to the
rapid pace of development in communication technologies, the private and
working spheres are merging into each other more and more, and work and
the workplace are attaining an entirely new status in the life of each
individual and in society. Work is taking up an ever larger part of our
lives, and more and more people are defining themselves through their
work. That’s why the topic of working worlds and workplace design is
being assigned an ever more important role in our society.How does
architecture react to these developments? Does it need to react at all?
What role do façades, building technology, interior design and furniture
play? How will we work in the future? Will fixed workplaces become
obsolete – or quite the opposite? What effect do modern methods and
means of communication have? To what extent does sustainability play a
role in day-to-day office life? Best of DETAIL: OFFICE bundles the
highlights from DETAIL and DETAILgreen on the topic of office and
administrative architecture. The publication addresses discussions of
principles and offers a theoretical basis with an extensive index of
works as well as a great deal of inspiration and constructive examples
of solutions.
