| OFFICE DESIGN |
 No longer keyed
to mere functional requirements nor simply representing a productivity value,
as Modern Architecture had imposed, office space is presented to the contemporary
designer as a true architectural opportunity.Yhe origin of this portrayal go back a long way and to be able to understand it completely we need to go back to the idea of an architectural and functional typology that has undergone considerable and inevitable developments. Office space, what we think of nowadays as the place were study and business activities take place, did not have its own functional perimeters and hence a recognizable architectural definition until the Renaissance. In fact, action and reflection were kept strictly separate, giving rise on the one hand to the idea of a place still linked to the commercial and banking function, and on the other hand to the idea of a place characterized by the search for privacy and intellectual contemplation. The former was often found in the home, its space being distinguished not through a functional specialization, but simply through its separate use. This commingling featured in very distant geographical examples, such as typical Renaissance palazzo of the Italian merchant cities and the North European business homes, but it was not strong enough to develop along a clear-cut evolution. On the other hand, the most isolated and reserved parts of the home were set aside for study. The first building to combine the characteristics of both study and practice is the Uffizi gallery in Florence, by Giorgio Vasari , which also features a well-defined and innovative architectural character. The Uffizi was based on the simplified layout of divisions into separate rooms, the so-called "audience rooms", connected to each other by a corridor. [..] |
