About this title

Synopsis

'A text which will be valuable for architects and clients...much of practical value...well illustrated...Buy the book if you are involved in office design; it will set you on the path.' Building Design Tomorrow's Office is an ideal sourcebook for architects, interior designers, and others concerned with office interiors and the provision of good workplace facilities. The author summarizes the changing context of office work and identifies the important issues that facilities managers must consider and resolve when handling major physical revisions in the workplace. Laid out in an easy-to-read format, well-chosen case studies exemplify effective design choices.

Review

...a text which will be valuable for architects and clients...much of practical value...well illustrated...Buy the book if you are involved in office design; it will set you on the path .
–Building Design

A beautifully produced hardback that would grace the coffee table in any office, it has photographs and a layout that are a joy to see...The text is scholarship material, but witty and accessible.
–Flexible Working

Tommorow's Office tantalises by providing insights into the 'dilemmas' of office design...Santa Raymond and Roger Cunliffe preserve a successful balance between pictorial references, diagrammatic information and text...express a valid and important point of view...it gives useful insights to a potentially wide range of readers....facilities managers and organisational managers will be suprised at the major contribution that can be made by the design process.
–Architect's Journal

The book offers an in-depth analysis of what offices are (or should be) about. It provides helpful rules of thumb and a run through of dilemmas (note, not problems) under each chapter heading.
–Space Management

Certainly, I would recommend picking up and simply dipping into this book whenever a Facilities Manager, Chief Executive, Architect or Space Planner is about to embark on any project necessitating changes in the physical workplace...This book clearly contributes much to the contention that the traditional non-thinking approach to office space plannning is rapidly following the example set by the Brontosarus and its contemporaries.
