ABSTRACT
In Chapter 17, “Measurement: The Key to Reinventing the Office,” Francis Duffy describes how the fabric of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century office buildings were the architectural embodiment of Taylorist principles. Twenty-first-century business practices, impacted by the liberating and democratizing influence of Information Technology, are in a state of flux. How can the design professions, in dialog with the business community, develop a new architectural paradigm?
