The organisation and location of work has changed dramatically in the last decade, reflecting the accumulation of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) by businesses in a quest to improve performance. Technology since the introduction of the IBM PC in 1980 has become more powerful, mobile, wireless and networked. In the 1980’s the effect on the building environment was to take space, create heat, proliferate units and place demands on the specification of the building shell. Many of these constraints have evaporated as we near the end of the 1990’s. The role of information technology has become absorbed and ubiquitous. The impact today is on location, settings and the new paradigms which have emerged of work.
