Description
The spaces and places around us construct us as we construct them. They shape our actions, interactions and sense of meanings, emotions and identity. The authors argue that space and place are central to the analysis of organizations but that organizations and the process of 'organization' structure and channel the social. Architecture, likewise, has social and material consequences but reflects the social and material within its own organization. The book asks if and how space can be re-organized.
