Book Description

Publication Date: November 1, 2002

Is your workspace just a desk - or a wellspring of creativity that houses your inner muse? Is it just a room - or a borderless arena that motivates you to perform at your best? Whether you are a designer or programmer, a master artist or a manager, this guide offers advice on creating an inspired workspace. This book features design advice that is both practical and philosophical, as well as profiles of professionals and creatives who work in spaces that inspire and motivate them. Best-selling author and nutritionist Earl Mindell describes how he transformed his garage into an old-time pharmacy. Netscape computer programmers explain the paradox of relaxed environments - including pets, music and jeans - that facilitate innovative, intense performance. From corporate common space to the office cubicle, this book shows how workspace can set the stage for creativity.
