Offices and office work are changing at many levels: offices are being increasingly in out-of-town locations; job sharing and workstation sharing have implications on office design; developing communications mean that people do not need to be tied to their offices. Green considerations are yet another factor in the equation. This book is a source of information for architects on the design of the workplace.

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.
