Back to the Office - 50 once revolutionary office buildings and how they sustained

Back to the Office works overtime inside the revolutionary offices of the twentieth century, and asks what endured from their architecture, their materials, and the ideologies of work they embodied. Using before-and-after photography, archival documents, contemporary interviews and critical essays, this book engages corporations, architects, workers, building managers, regulators and others - all in search of the lessons we need to learn from a very recent time when there was an unambivalent enthusiasm for office life.
