A collection of articles, reviews and studies on the subject of office and workplace design. Each of the five chapters deals with a major theme in workplace design and incorporates four articles, with side notes consisting of up-to-date commentaries.

The book is intended for the use of architects, interior designers, office space managers and office administrators.
