ABSTRACT
From reviewing likely trends in organisational development (Chapter 13) and considering the transition that many organisations are likely to make particularly from hive and cell to den and club, we conclude that:
the main, longer term trend in organisations is towards becoming more interactive and more intermittent in the use of time and space by individuals and groups;
most larger organisations will continue to consist of a mix of the four organisational types: it is the proportion of each that will shift over time;
the office building types that have the most capacity for accommodating this shift in organisational demand are the medium depth atrium and medium depth slabs;
the families of HVAC systems that are most appropriate to facilitate this shift in organisational demand are likely to be more responsive and controllable at a local level than conventional radiative air or all air systems.
