The Office on the Grass

This publication is a selection of content which has been published previously in the a+t magazine WORKFORCE series. "When they reached the top of the stairs, the view was spectacular. The roof overlooked most of the campus, the surrounding city of San Vincenzo and the bay beyond." This paragraph from the novel The Circle (Dave Eggers) describes the pardigm of the office in the digital era, which is ubiquitous, with no defined space or time. Everything can be done at any time in any place. In THE OFFICE ON THE GRASS, Caruso St John Architects and Javier Mozas (a+t research group) define the character of the contemporary office through paradigm-changing buildings and their sources of inspiration. The volume, edited by Aurora Fernández Per (a+t research group), is complemented with an illustrated glossary containing significant projects and a timeline of the most important innovations in the workplace environment.--
