A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
When People Matter
Facing the 1990s, with intensified competition in technically advanced production, industry now shows greater interest in the design of the built environment. The industrial plant becomes an important means, not only to shelter but also to embody and express a form of production that taps the potential of the whole person. The book presents ideas, projects and industrial environments in the Nordic counties that illustrate these new trends, outlining the development of a tradition, from the centuries-old Swedish bruk to radically new forms of production and expressions of corporate identity. Architects, historians, working-life researchers, designers and economists discuss what can be learned from a great number of examples of good industrial architecture and engineering design and how these lessons can be applied to industrial buildings of the decade to come.
