Able to work anywhere - and in unpredictable times, often forced to - we have a tortured relationship with the office today. Realizing anew the benefits of collaborating and just being in physical, shared spaces, we are simultaneously questioning whether offices - with the demanding, alienating rhythms they impose on us, the expenses they bring to business, and their hefty material and carbon impacts - are needed at al. In times of uncertainty and drastic change, the typical response of architects, in league with corporation and consultants, has been to demolish or strip out office buildings and start again. Attempting to plot a more sane path forwards, this book looks back. How have the revolutionary office buildings of the 20th century evolved in the 21st century ? What architecture and materials, and which ideologies of work and corportate inhabitation have endured, and why ? And which regimes of change have worked, and which haven't ?
