When planning a new office, designers and their clients are faced with many challenges and questions. They have to think about practical issues such as spatial needs, proximity relations, IT infrastructure and furniture, but also more strategic issues such as occupancy costs, effectiveness of the working environment, and environmental impact. One of the most fundamental questions during the briefing stage concerns the office concept: what kind of office design best suits the working processes and culture of the organization?

Wpływ austriackiego architekta oraz projektanta Josefa Hoffmanna (1870-1956) jest wyjątkowy: przez ponad 60 lat prowadził on estetyczny dialog z modernizmem, Stylem Międzynarodowym oraz Art Deco. Jednak jego prace popadły prawie w zapomnienie. Dopiero w latach 80. odkryli je postmoderniści. Teraz ich znaczenie trudno zakwestionować.
