• This is the first comprehensive analysis of emerging office design practice to support and enhance the performance of knowledge workers.
• It explains how the office is being reinvented to respond to the imperatives of knowledge work, as well as the changing social imperatives and technology of the new millennium.
• A wide range of international workplace architecture and interior schemes that are leading the way in this important area is showcased.
• The book sets its 43 international case studies within a unique conceptual matrix that provides a framework for thinking about new strategies for reinventing office space.
• It identifies four 'realms' for knowledge work the learning campus (ACADEMY); the professional cluster (GUILD); the public workplace (AGORA) and the live-work setting (LODGE). The authors argue that only by finding an entirely new equilibrium at work between the opposing forces of family, colleagues, customers and professional peers can knowledge workers in the 21st century achieve the same productivity gains as manual labour in the 20th century.
