Modern working worlds need not have a complex organisation or be perfectly equipped technologically. More and more, office interiors are becoming architectural visiting cards for enterprises. Transparency, openness and modernity are qualities which are often requested in the architecture of company headquarters and administrations. The selection of a three-piece suite in the reception area already contributes to the way an enterprise communicates its image. Outward representation is becoming ever more important and can assume a wide variety of forms : some designs break completely with the traditional organisation of working rooms, others seem intent upon making objects of spatial art out of offices and still others work predominantly with the psychology of colours or integrated landscape and environment in the working interior.
This volume presents approximately thirty office interiors designed by German-speaking architects and designers. With pictures, texts, drawings and a great deal of detailed information, »Inspiration Office » investigates the manifold formal language of the contemporary working world.
