Summary:

Instead, welcome free-form workspaces, flexible and mobile custom workstations, quirky architectural statements, meditation rooms, and pool tables. Today's companies have to be cool to attract new media businesses -- Web and Internet production houses, digital designers, and the advertising agencies that support them -- these firms are on the cutting edge of industry: So are their offices.

With the arrival of new media comes new design ideas and innovations. Design Secrets: Office Spaces reveals how interior designers and architects are designing these new user-friendly and flexible workplaces. Look over the shoulders of young designers as they turn venture capital into high-tech furniture design, teaming areas, recreation and nap rooms, and espresso-on-demand cafeterias -- in order to retain the top players in a computer-savvy labor force whose average age is twenty-four. Fifty in-depth profiles of cutting-edge offices are included, each illustrated with original plans, sketches, models, perspectives, and presentation drawings, and accompanied by informative text and hard-working captions.
