About this Item

Neuware - the world of work refuses to stand still: new technologies have a huge impact on office design and now that a great many employees have the freedom to do their work anywhere - on the road, at home, with clients - the general role of the office has altered significantly. The projects that make up The Other Office identify those offices that keep abreast of the rapid pace of change and, more importantly, set the pace. They achieve their goals in unique and creative ways. Their common denominator is that special quality with which they transcend the mundane requirements of planners programs, a creative synthesis of the intuitive and the analytical, bringing a new sensibility to the workplace.; Die Arbeitswelt will nicht still stehen: neue Technologien haben einen enormen Einfluss auch auf das Bürodesign. Gerade jetzt, da immer mehr Arbeitnehmer die Möglichkeit haben, ihre Arbeit überall zu verrichten unterwegs, zuhause, bei den Kunden hat sich die allgemeine Bedeutung des Büros signifikant geändert. Die in diesem Buch vorgestellten Projekte zeigen die Büros,die mit dem schnellen Tempo der Veränderungen Schritt halten und noch wichtiger das Tempo angeben sowie ihre Ziele auf eine einzigartige und kreative Weise erreichen. Ihr gemeinsamer Nenner ist diese spezielle Eigenschaft, mit der sie über die banalen Anforderungen der Programmplanung hinausgehen: eine kreative Synthese des Intuitiven und des Analytischen. Eine neue Sensibilität wird an den Arbeitsplatz gebracht. Der Kalifornier Matt Stewart ist freiberuflicher Autor und Designer und lebt in Holland. Sein Schaffen wurde in verschiedenen Zeitschriften, u.a. Frame, Surface, Butt und Baby veröffentlicht.
