The workplace is changing radically, yet the building designs and environmental systems for conventional offices fail to support the more fluid use of space and time practised by these new kinds of office work. Prepared by the team who wrote The Responsible Workplace in 1992, this book is based on a major research project undertaken by DEGW and the BRE. It identifies the key organizational changes, patterns of work, work settings and types of space layouts and it will help specifiers and users of environmental systems understand what products will be suitable for innovative ways of office working. eBook available with sample pages: 0203223101
These essays, written over a third of a century during a time of huge ideological, technological and methodological upheaval, witness British architecture's unceasing negotation with a vast and rigorous set of constraints and its eventual emergence as a truly modern profession - a special interest group responsive and answerable to social changes but shaped and informed by values and principles that may be on a longer cycle and perhaps a loftier plane. The backdrop to this debate is the term of presidency of the RIBA held by Francis Duffy, Chairman of DEGW, UK, between 1993 and 1995. During this period the architectural profession faced major challenges and threats. The book looks at the relationship between the architectural profession and the built environment in the context of the great political and social cycles in the British post-war period. Francis Duffy's writings provide additional insights and viewpoints to the subject. eBook available with sample pages: 0203223578

Since its foundation in 1987, Bennetts Associates has won numerous
awards for its work and has established itself in the UK as one of
the leading architecture practices of its generation. This is the
first book to examine the firm's ethos and the themes behind its
buildings. Four aspects of Bennetts Associates' work are considered
in depth-Perception, Form, Construction and Process-drawing on over
30 built projects in detail, as well as many others in various
stages of design and construction. These projects, include
Hampstead Theatre, the Wessex Water Headquarters, Brighton Central
Library and the New Street Square development in the City of
London.
Each of the underlying themes is examined in turn by four
well-known writers or commentators - academics Richard Weston and
Peter Carolin, design process theorist Frank Duffy and art
consultant Vivien Lovell.
