At the beginning of the 19th century, Charles Fourrier observed that
citizens' lives were marked not by the home but by the office; 200 years
later, this somewhat eccentric statement expresses the reality of
post-industrial society: In Western countries, one of the consequences
of the globalization of the economy has been the concentration of
workers in the tertiary sector; more than half of the population works
in offices. Offices have become domestic, the relationship between
workmates has become closer and their workplace seems increasingly like a
club or house in which they spend the greater part of the day. All
presented projects feature inspiring ideas of designing more efficient,
modern and more pleasant working environments.
