Editorial Reviews

Developed from an Institute of Advanced Architectural Studies held in York, England in the summer of 1995. The 17 studies explore trends in workplace organization, design, and utilization now that most office workers have traded their typewriters for computers and their clerical skills for information knowledge. They discuss real estate, global and tribal designs, converging technologies for virtual companies, organizational change, the British Airways Compass Centre at Heathrow, office buildings in Denmark, and other topics.
