Stefan Camenzind and Tanya Ruegg

Editorial contributors to the book Office+Object: Favorite Projects of Architects, Planners, Manufacturers.

The edition «Office+Object: Favourite Projects of Architects, Planners, and Manufacturers» is dedicated to showcasing particularly compelling and exemplary workplace designs, highlighting the favourite projects of leading architects, planners, and manufacturers. The featured professionals were meticulously selected by the publisher’s editorial team, which has been at the forefront of reporting on all aspects of modern office environments for over 25 years.

In his insightful foreword, editor Dr. Robert Nehring states, «Through digital transformation and the advent of New Work, the modern office has evolved into a dynamic space – serving as a meeting point, a campfire, a showroom, a stage, a home port, and a multi-purpose hall. In this new landscape, the employer now assumes the role of host.» 

This philosophy resonates perfectly with the perspectives shared in the editorial introduction by our creative director, Tanya Rüegg, and executive director, Stefan Camenzind. In their article, Building a Community Around the Office, Stefan and Tanya delve into the rise of New Work, emphasise the significance of fostering a strong connection with company culture, address the trend of decreasing commercial spaces in Europe, and the consequential impact on workplace design. They further analyse the success of JED, highlighting the remarkable transformation our team achieved in converting the former NZZ printing centre into a vibrant community centre for work, exchange, and leisure.

We congratulate the other featured architects and look forward to exploring the 40+ projects showcased in this book.

OFFICE+OBJEKT is available in both hardcover and e-book formats at office-roxx.de.
