Desperate to work again in physically shared spaces, we are also now questioning whether offices--and the demanding, alienating rhythms they may impose--are needed at all. Offices themselves are also subject to intolerable forces: 21st-century building regulations suggest redesigning them every seven to ten years; managerial strategies typically shift every five years; and offices are torn down, stripped out, rethought and renewed with alarming frequency.u003cbru003e With the future of our workspaces so uncertain, u003ciu003eBack to the Officeu003c/iu003elooks to both past and future, revisiting the revolutionary offices of the 20th century, and asking what endures from their architecture, their materials and the ideologies of work they embody.u003cbru003e Compiling before-and-after photography, archival documents, contemporary interviews and critical essays, this book engages corporations, architects, workers, building managers, regulators and others, in search of the lessons we need to learn for the future of office life.u003cbru003e u003ciu003eBack to the Officeu003c/iu003elooks at the development of iconic office projects by SOM, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Arne Jacobsen, Herman Hertzberger, Oscar Niemeyer, Gio Ponti, Le Corbusier, Kenzo Tange and many others, spread across four continents.
