Architecture Factory

The Economic Crisis has refocused attention on the central nature of the real economy. Industry is once more seen as an opportunity for the future. This entails a new factory template, one that can meet the demands of globalisation while also establishing a sustainable relationship with its surroundings, in a social and environmental sense. There is clearly also a need to address the physical design of workplaces in an innovative way, providing environments that are suited to radical changes in the realms of technology, safety and amenity. This book provides useful references for those who have to contend with the design of industrial complexes.
