A Design History of the American Office (Cultural Histories of Design)

Jennifer Kaufmann-Buhler

Discover the history and evolution of the American open plan office, from its progressive origins to its current dehumanizing reputation.

Kaufmann-Buhler weaves together various perspectives and examples to unravel the assumptions, expectations, and inequities at the core of the open plan concept.
