On the job

"On the Job: Design and the American Office, published in coordination with the National Building Museum's exhibition, presents office design - past, present, and potential future - through contemporary and period photographs, advertisements, cartoons, film stills, and product manuals. The essays address the representation of the office in popular culture, the evolution of the work station and its emphasis on ergonomics and productivity, office design as a reflection of corporate culture from Larkin to Chiat/Day, and office architecture as a mirror of current business models. These informative pieces by Stanley Abercrombie, Thomas Hine, Phil Patton, and James S. Russell are complemented by four photographic essays of historic images as well as new photographs by Steven Brooke."--BOOK JACKET.
