Summary:

Die Anforderungen an unsere Arbeitsräume haben sich in jüngster Zeit grundlegend verändert: Wechselnde Belegungsdichte und Raumnutzung fordern in gleicher Weise Flexibilität der Raumstrukturen wie neue Berufe und innovative Arbeitsmethoden. Digitalisierung unserer Arbeitsmedien beeinflusst dabei ebenso die Planung der Arbeitsräume wie neue Materialien und Gebäudetechnologien. Bei aller Fexibilität und Technik steht der Mensch aber im Mittelpunkt - wie lassen sich also die vielschichtigen Konzepte hinsichtlich Raumklima, Licht, Akustik und auch Ergonomie mit unterschiedlich nutzbaren Raumstrukturen in Einklang bringen? Entsprechend dem typologischen Ansatz der Reihe stellt dieser Im Detail-Titel die verschiedenen Arbeitswelten anhand deren Nutzung vor. Im Zentrum steht dabei immer das gelungene Zusammenspiel zwischen technischen Standards, organisatorischen Strukturen und den menschlichen Ansprüchen.

The requirements confronting our workplaces have recently undergone a dramatic transformation. Constantly shifting workspace populations and varying uses of workspace call for flexible spatial structures, and so do new professions and innovative working methods. The planning of workspaces is influenced by the digitalization of our storage media as well as by new materials and building technologies. And yet for all the importance of flexibility and technology, the ultimate focus is still on human beings. How, then can the multilayered concepts of indoor climate, lighting, acoustics, and ergonomics be reconciled with spatial structures that lend themselves to a variety of uses? In keeping with the typological approach of the series, this volume of the series In Detail presents the various work environments organized according to use. The focus throughout is on the successful interplay between technical standards, organizational structures, and human needs.
