Corporate fields imagines and gives form to the future of office life, bringing together more than 2000 diagrams, models, renderings and other images from 26 architectural projects completed during the first three years of the ground-breaking AA DRL programme.The projects are based on extensive field research undertaken in some of London's most creative corporate environments, and they have been developed from a close analysis of the remarkable ways in which today's leading companies challenge both traditional corporate practice and conventional office planning assumptions. The proposals resulting from this design research include master plans and buildings as well as interiors and furnishings.Corporate Fields is the first in a series of books documenting the work of the AA DRL, whose innovative (and increasingly imitated) team-based design pedagogy proposes a model for peer-to-peer teaching and learning that is uniquely tailored to the increasingly global design challenges, tools and technologies of the twenty-first century.
