| Summary: | There is now, therefore, a new catalogue of excellence from building types that, with some exceptions, were previously models of mediocrity. THE BEST IN OFFICE INTERIOR DESIGN is a record of that catalogue, offering a scrupulously edited contemporary review of the best new work in this area, quoting examples from architects from all over the world. An introductory essay explains the evolution of the office building as a community workplace and the establishment of a protocol for the organization of an office workforce; subsequent chapters present essays on five major styles that preoccupy contemporary architecture and design: Modern, Modern Vernacular, Traditional, Interventionist and New Modern. Within each section, the style is defined in the abstract and its application to office building design in particular is explored. THE BEST IN OFFICE INTERIOR DESIGN offers an outstanding guide to any such exploration, being at once a catalogue of excellence and a comprehensive source book that celebrates, informs and inspires.
