Take a trip through American office design, from Marcel Breuer’s IBM campus to Lil Miquela’s Instagram profile. This book is a refreshing take on the forms of workplaces, from the 1970s into the future. In a collection of 12 essays with photographs by Iwan Baan, explore the global trends that have defined the modern office space. This book is a theoretical backdrop for architects as much as it is for businesspeople and employees. With curiosity and scepticism, it looks at the spaces and solutions that have been designed for human work, tracing the transformation from work to occupation, from punch cards to “playbor,” from today’s lived experience to tomorrow’s unpredictable, imagined futures.
