ENGBack to the Office, book launch with Ruth Baumeister, Marieke van den Heuvel and Stephan PetermannWith the future of our workspaces and office buildings so uncertain, 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.This 500-page book shows a unique over-time development of iconic office projects by SOM, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Arne Jacobsen, Herman Hertzberger, Oscar Niemeyer, Gio Ponti, Le Corbusier, Kenzo Tange and many others, spread across four continents. 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.NL Back to the Office, boeklancering met Ruth Baumeister, Marieke van den Heuvel en Stephan PetermannDe toekomst van onze werkplekken en kantoorgebouwen zijn onzeker en daarom hebben de auteurs van Back to the Office overuren gedraaid in de revolutionaire kantoren van de twintigste eeuw om erachter te komen wat er rest van hun architectuur, hun materialen en de ideologieën over werk die ze belichamen.Het 500 pagina’s tellende boek toont de unieke ontwikkeling van iconische kantoren door de tijd heen van o.a.: SOM, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Arne Jacobsen, Herman Hertzberger, Oscar Niemeyer, Gio Ponti, Le Corbusier, Kenzo Tange en vele anderen.Aan de hand van voor-en-na-foto’s, archiefonderzoek, contemporaine interviews en kritische essays gaan bedrijven, architecten, werknemers, gebouwbeheerders, regelgevers en anderen in dit boek op zoek naar de lessen die er zijn te trekken uit het zeer recente verleden, waarin er nog een ondubbelzinnig enthousiasme voor het kantoorleven bestond.
