Architecture, Ritual Practice and Co-Determination in the Swedish Office

Originally published in 1994, this title is a case study of Swedish office buildings and examines how they have been influenced by spatial aspects of traditional culture in Scandinavia. It suggests a theoretical framework for architecture by casting the ritual form of Swedish offices into three distinct modes of expression.
