Trade Review"For Kemp and Baker, the value of workplace community is to be found in the way people work well together, communicate effectively in crisis, feel creative and productive, and feel secure enough to make connections with other people. Their description of how to achieve these goals brings together questions of architecture and human working behavior and addresses a wide range of issues, including energy and light usage, building travel patterns, organizational design and community interaction, design elements that encourage spontaneous and informal interactions, and the interaction of building design with work productivity variables (health, safety and security, comfort and control, community, rewards, and creativity and morale)." -
