OFFICE HEADQUARTERS

A continuous slap which folds along its own axis, trapping interior office space and secretarial pools.
Project by GEORGE KATODRYTIS: OFFICE HEADQUARTERS, 1999:

The new office
If the 20th century has been the era of the modernist and postmodernist city, the 21st century will likely be the age of the “global city.” In the new millennium, urban places will respond to more than national political, economic, and social forces. Given the rise of transnational banking, off-shore manufacturing, multination trade blocs, global communications, and the international division of labor, cities will be profoundly enmeshed in a network of world systems.
