The History of Office Buildings
From the First High-Rises to Potential Future Repurposing
In my thesis I examine the development of our work site, specifically the office, and explore its potential future perspectives. The technological innovations of the 20th century have led to the emergence of building typologies whose functions seem to be changing in the future, partly as a consequence of the 2019 global COVID pandemic. The underutilisation of office buildings invites new, alternative uses.
