Clever and sometimes even breathtaking, these new spaces promote
new forms of work, creativity, and collaboration. The way we work
is currently undergoing fundamental changes. Thanks to
globalization and digitalization on the one hand and evolving
corporate cultures, collaboration methods, working procedures, and
hierarchical structures on the other, a range of new opportunities
are opening up for both employers and employees. These promising
possibilities, however, bring along significant challenges for the
architecture of our workplaces --and those who would like to use
them. Workscape reveals how the architecture of our working world
is changing to keep up with these new developments. The book
features an outstanding selection of examples from world-famous
architects who are implementing projects for large, innovative
firms, and pushing architectonic and aesthetic boundaries in the
process. These include oMA / Rem Koolhaas for McKinsey &
Company in Hong Kong, Meyer Scherer & Rockcastle for the Urban
Outfitters' campus in Philadelphia, Hofman Dujardin Architects for
eneco's headquarters in Rotterdam, and 3Xn for saxo Bank in
Copenhagen. This comprehensive survey showcases individual
workplaces from executive suites to open-plan offices as well as
conference rooms, spaces that facilitate teamwork, representative
foyers, and functional surfaces. The book includes key locations
for the more informal exchange of information including
kitchenettes, lounges, and break rooms. In addition to documenting
working environments, Workscape also explores unconventional
parameters that can make a workplace more attractive and that
reflect new developments in the business world such as company-run
childcare facilities, lunchrooms serving organic food, and
corporate parking lots with charging stations for electric
vehicles. Workscape features compelling examples from global
corporations, innovative medium-sized enterprises, and small
creative studios. The book even includes extensive documentation of
the specific features of temporary structures such as incubators
for start-ups or co-working spaces for freelancers. Its
thought-provoking overview of working environments for today and
tomorrow makes Workscape an invaluable reference for architects,
interior designers, and product designers as well as companies and
employees who are looking to redefine their workplaces, impress
their partners and clients, and inspire their staff.
