Abstract

In the Second Industrial Revolution, the service sector starts growing significantly. At the end of the 19th century, the number of employees in banking, trade, industry, and insurance increases. The rationalization of these enterprises creates a specialized and at the same time universal space that becomes the operative heart of both private business and public administration: in the office, machines, furniture, and people come together - form and function unite. The contributions to this volume show the office as a space of rationalization and of the imaginary, which is considered »life's actual center of gravity« (Walter Benjamin), the center of administrative and social life.

Abstract

Immerse yourself with architects Florian Idenburg and LeeAnn Suen as they journey through a wide-ranging collection of the objects, systems, and buildings that have occupied the American office space since the advent of the internet. Through stories and speculations, Idenburg and Suen expose the relationships between space, work, and people, and explore the intentions that have driven the development of office design for working humans.In twelve essays, this book examines the spatial typologies and global phenomena that have defined the office in the last half century. Topics include the return of the work club, the rise of the corporate festival, the way of the charismatic guru, the shattering of the time clock, and the design of playgrounds for work. We cycle through Frank O. Gehry’s radical, playful spaces for digital nomads in the advertising world, stagger under the weight of stacks of punch cards, feel the fit of our bodies in the Aeron Chair, answer the phone in Hugh Hefner’s bed, and scroll through Lil Miquela’s feed. Photographic essays by Iwan Baan provide a visual post-occupancy report on a range of canonical office projects, such as Marcel Breuer’s IBM campus in Florida and the Ford Foundation’s urban garden in Manhattan. Four intervening catalogs offer collections of experimental workplace products, augural advertisements for office building components, digital office components, and renderings of speculative workplaces; each catalog bridges the reality of the office and how we imagine its alternatives. This book is a theoretical backdrop for architects as much as it is for businesspeople and employees. With curiosity and skepticism, it looks at the spaces and solutions that have been designed for human work, tracing the transformation from work to occupation, from punch cards to “playbor,” from today’s lived experience to tomorrow’s unpredictable, imagined futures.

Abstract

Englich and Remmers provide a comprehensive, analytical, and programmatic introduction to face-to-face communication in the work world. Against the backdrop of globalization, with its dynamic transformations of office environments and worldwide digital networks, they analyze the strategic significance of the various communication processes for organizational and corporate development. They show how the motives and aims of communication, the organizational forms and procedures appropriate in a given case, the size and arrangement of spaces, the required capabilities of furniture and furnishings, and modern communications and media technology all condition and influence one another. Their integrated and user-oriented approach to analysis and planning enables architects, interior designers, and facility managers to foster communication processes, structure them sensibly, and avoid unnecessary friction and needless follow-up costs, all through proper planning. Englich und Remmers bieten eine umfassende, analytische und gleichzeitig programmatische Darstellung der Face-to-Face-Kommunikation in der Arbeitswelt. Vor dem Hintergrund der Globalisierung mit ihren dynamischen Veränderungen der Bürowelten und ihrer weltweiten digitalen Vernetzung analysiert es die strategische Bedeutung der unterschiedlichen Kommunikationsprozesse für die Organisations- und Unternehmensentwicklung. Es zeigt auf, wie Kommunikationsmotive und -ziele, die jeweils sinnvollen Organisationsformen und methodischen Abläufe, die Raumanordnungen und Raumgrößen, die notwendigen Leistungsprofile der Möblierung und die moderne Kommunikations- und Medientechnik sich wechselseitig bedingen. Der ganzheitliche, nutzungsorientierte Analyse- und Planungsansatz eröffnet den Architekten, Interior Designern, Facility Managern die Möglichkeit, über die richtige Planung Kommunikationsprozesse zu fördern, sinnvoll zu strukturieren und unnötige Reibungsverluste sowie überflüssige Folgekosten zu vermeiden.

Abstract

Departing from Frame's successful 'The Other Office' series, this book will explore the many different iterations of today's workspaces through an in-depth exploration of 50+ projects worldwide. From co-works and corporate offices to work cafes and transit spaces, and everything in between, a curated selection of projects will highlight today's varied and bold interpretations of the workplace. These case studies will be introduced by essays reflecting on how designers are responding to changes in the lifestyles and work habits of today's workforce and in turn how design can help transform them. The book will be punctuated by interviews with industry leaders who will help bring to the forefront key examples of how companies are using architecture and design to implement business strategy and achieve results.
