From the 'Action Office' of the 1960s to the 'Office for the Future' of the 1990s

Abstract

During recent years much has been written about new alternative office environments and changing ways of working. The traditional office has been questioned, and a large number of pilot projects - 'Offices for the future' have been carried out in Sweden (about 50 up to March 1996). Office space designed according to the requirements of the activity in question has been the aim. In the following article the author attempts to describe developments to date as well as looking into the future.
