Business Week, the AIA and Architectural Record team up to award the 2002 'Winning Workplaces' -- office space organized into neighborhoods.
The winners of the sixth annual BusinessWeek/Architectural Record Awards comprise an extraordinary collection of architects and their clients who came together to create workplaces designed to promote innovation and creativity. In a corporate world obsessed with cost-cutting, architecture was used to reduce space, increase efficiency, and save money--without skimping on innovation... Five of our eleven winners are corporate or university offices, and most of the others--from an automotive-parts plant in Mexico to Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati--were designed around their role as a workplace, whether for motor assemblers or football players."
