Description
Space Meets Status: Designing Workplace Performance By Jacqueline Vischer This book explores the challenges of reducing individual office and workstation sizes to increase work efficiency. When employers attempt to shrink employees' workspace, it can lead to feelings of threat and discomfort, as their "home from home" is compromised. The author summarizes significant research findings on office-space design and behavior, drawing on fields such as environmental psychology, architecture, and interior design. Examples and case studies illustrate how space is a valuable corporate resource that can be improved through better design decisions. By examining the practical aspects of planning workspace for users, this book reveals how factors like lighting, ventilation, temperature, noise, and furniture layout affect worker productivity and stress levels. It shows how understanding human comfort in terms of building systems can help corporate managers and design professionals plan and manage work environments more effectively.
