The offices of the `Nineties
Duffy, F.
The offices of the `Nineties - 1991 - Property Management 9(2) Spring 1991, 116-122(7) .
London is taken as an archetype for combining two different traditions of office construction , as a city full of building projects of both the "Anglo-Saxon" speculative or developer led type, and the custom built, client orientated pattern prevalent in northern Europe. Lessons from the boom of the past eight years are considered and the office cultures of America, Japan and Europe contrasted with the native British. The author concludes that there will be an exchange of ideas and practice in the future, coupled with a decline of the less favoured aspects of each tradition.
