Publisher's Synopsis
A highly visual record of the most outstanding international work in science, office and business park design. The idea of "working in the park", and of decentralizing the office and general business activity by moving it from the city to the country, is continually evolving and taking new directions, to such an extent that current plans see the concept turning full circle, with the so-called 4th Generation Parks, taking the country into the city. This book examines the growth process beginning with gentrification of the industrial estate through to the 4th Generation concept - total community campus city.
