Sinopsis, modern working worlds need not have a complex organisation or
be perfectly equipped technologically. More and more, offi ce interiors
are becoming architectural visiting cards for enterprises.
Transparency, openness and modernity are qualities which are often
requested in the architecture of company headquarters and administrations.
The selection of a three-piece suite in the reception area already
contributes to the way an enterprise communicates its image.
Outward representation is becoming ever more important and can
assume a wide variety of forms: some designs break completely with
the traditional organisation of working rooms, others seem intent
upon making objects of spatial art out of offi ces and still others work
predominantly with the psychology of colours or integrated landscape
and environment in the working interior.This volume presents
approximately thirty offi ce interiors designed by German-speaking
architects and designers. With pictures, texts, drawings and a great
deal of detailed information, »Inspiration Offi ce« investigates the
manifold formal language of the contemporary working world.
