the 2ist century office Jeremy Myerson and Philip Ross This book is the first comprehensive survey of workplace architecture and interior schemes for the new century, capturing emerging themes and ideas in office design around the world. Written and researched by the authors of The Creative Office, this new book advances the concept of increasing creativity in office planning and design by exploring the new workplace models that are developing in response to rapid organizational, social and technological change. The book focuses only on new offices planned, designed or opened around the new millennium or after 1 January 2000. It features 45 case studies drawn from office schemes around the world. The book begins with an introduction in which the authors discuss how the new workplace of the twenty-first century is already exhibiting different spatial, organizational and material characteristics from the scientifically managed, processdriven, mechanistic model of the twentieth-century modern office - Mies van der Rohe's 'machine for working in'. This is followed by four chapters illustrating the main themes of the book: office design which is narrative in form, teliing a story about organizations and brands through an interior journey; office design which is nodal in function (both physically and virtually), facilitating training, hosting knowledge exchanges, fostering collaborations, etc.; office design which is neighbourly in character, creating a social aréna within a community of purpose; office design which is nomadica workplace geographically dispersed between home, work, retail areas, transport hubs and places in between.
