Library Journal Review

An emerging trend in office design is the idea of coworking, or creating a communal space where individuals who would typically work from home can come together to work and share ideas in an informal setting. Former interior designer Davies and Tollervey, who has been involved with book and art production, take an international tour of 30 spaces with each of the founders or designers, describing the building, clientele, atmosphere, and locales. Although some of the spaces have traditional office elements, such as conference rooms, the 170-plus color photographs depict environments that have been created in former industrial buildings and that have a more informal feel (e.g., the former cod-drying warehouse of the HUB Bergen, MAKE Business Hub in Dubai). VERDICT Ideal for professional interior designers looking to create this kind of shared working environment. (c) Copyright 2014. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
