What is a collision? An unexpected meeting with an effect. And what is creativity? Generating something new. And what is a creative office? It is an environment which provides support for something new. And what sounds so simple really is that simple. There are certain places in the office where creative work can really happen. These are not places like office desks or meeting rooms, no matter where they might be. Nor are these just around the coffee machines or the table-tennis tables in offices. Above all, creative places are the corridors, the lifts, the stairways, the entrance halls. In offices that have been planned with innovation in mind, it is the spaces in between that make collisions possible: chance meetings that stimulate our intuitive system and, in doing so, provide for generating something new. For intuition is a human system that enables fast decision-making and provides the means for dealing with unintended meetings that are full of risk. Coincidences are the source of the creative impulse that is needed for something new. For an idea, developing that idea, an innovation. Such locations have to be designed to support innovated exchange. Only then is an office creative. And only then will a creative meeting make an impact. Do we have such places for collisions in our offices? They are surprisingly rare.

Das Buch untersucht das Zusammenspiel von alten und neuen Decor-Elementen auf der Insula IX 5 in Pompeji in der letzten Phase der Stadt zwischen 62-79 n. Chr. Dabei wird für die Häuser erstmals der Versuch unternommen, Bau- und Ausstattungsphasen zu greifen. Die Ausstattung wird jedoch nicht nur chronologisch eingeordnet, sondern sowohl hinsichtlich der für sie getroffenen Decor-Entscheidungen als auch der Wirkung des Decors analysiert.

Refinement and enrichment of surfaces in stone, wood and plaster is a fundamental aspect of early modern architecture which has been marginalised by architectural history. Enriching Architecture aims to retrieve and rehabilitate surface achievement as a vital element of early modern buildings in Britain and Ireland. Rejected by modernism, demeaned by the conceptual 'turn' and too often reduced to its representative or social functions, we argue for the historical legitimacy of creative craft skill as a primary agent in architectural production. However, in contrast to the connoisseurial and developmental perspectives of the past, this book is concerned with how surfaces were designed, achieved and experienced. The contributors draw upon the major rethinking of craft and materials within the wider cultural sphere in recent years to deconstruct traditional, oppositional ways of thinking about architectural production. This is not a craft for craft's sake argument but an effort to embed the tangible findings of conservation and curatorial research within an evidence-led architectural history that illuminates the processes of early modern craftsmanship. The book explores broad themes of surface treatment such as wainscot, rustication, plasterwork, and staircase embellishment together with chapters focused on virtuoso buildings and set pieces which illuminate these themes.
