Future Offices examines the evolving nature of the office as a
spatial asset. Rapid changes in culture, technology, and society
have upended longstanding notions of offices and the nature of work
itself. While companies and capital around the globe have become
increasingly consolidated, labour vis-Ã -vis technology has
become increasingly decentralized. The office, traditionally a key
spatial interlocutor between labour and capital is caught in an
awkward position with typological considerations for architecture.
What should the future office look like? What is the future role of
the headquarters? What does the office’s changing role mean for
urbanism? The works collected here provide frameworks for
understanding the complex and multifaceted nature of contemporary
work, manufacturing, and commerce, and they aspire to influence new
ways of conceiving architecture at multiple scales. They speculate
upon a future where offices acquire new facets as resources of
space, knowledge, and production that participate in local and
global economic and cultural contexts in new hybridised forms. At
the heart of this is a recognition that the new ways in which
companies integrate into in society should be reflected in
architecture itself.
