Daher charakterisiert er immer in doppelter Weise eine materielle und symbolische Einheit. Der Schreibtisch ist nicht nur für sich gesehen sehr aufschlussreich, er muss auch immer im Kontext seines kulturellen, geschlechtsspezifischen und branchenbezogenen Umfelds untersucht und verstanden werden. Im Zentrum dieser Studie steht die vergleichende Analyse der Nutzung von Schreibtischen. Hierfür wurden Schreibtische in Versicherungen, Banken, Verwaltungen, Call Centern und Designstudios in zwölf Ländern aus allen Kontinenten untersucht. Die Publikation stellt die Ergebnisse in umfangreichem Bildmaterial, empirischen Analysen und kritischen Essays vor. Durchgeführt wurde die Studie von der Köln International School of Design (KISD) in Zusammenarbeit mit Universitäten in Hongkong, New York, Seoul, Taipei, Curitiba (Brasilien), Puna (Indien), Auckland, Mailand, Fukuoka (Japan).The desk is a place of work and of action, but it also serves as a place to exhibit personal things and preferences. Thus it always characterizes in two ways a material and symbolic unity. The desk is not only very informative in itself, but also must always be studied and understood in the context of its cultural, gender-specific, and field-related surroundings. The focus of this study is a comparative analysis of the use of desks. Desks in insurance companies, banks, administrative authorities, call centers, and design studios in twelve countries on all continents were studied. This publication presents the results in the form of extensive visual material, empirical analyses, and critical essays. The study was carried out by the Köln International School of Design (KISD) in collaboration with universities in Hong Kong; New York; Seoul; Taipei; Curitiba, Brazil; Pune, India; Auckland; Milan; and Fukuoka, Japan.Office decorationPsychological aspectsWork environmentPsychological aspectsDesksPsychological aspectsInterior decorationHuman factorsOffice decorationPsychological aspectsPictorial worksInterior decorationHuman factorsPictorial worksPersonal spacePictorial worksWork environmentElectronic books.Office decorationPsychological aspects.Work environmentPsychological aspects.DesksPsychological aspects.Interior decorationHuman factors.Office decorationPsychological aspectsInterior decorationHuman factorsPersonal spaceWork environment.740Brandes Uta1038775Erlhoff Michael852698Adrian Nadine1038776Dickel Susanne1038777Danaher Tim1038778MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465051003321My desk is my castle2460558UNINA
