Designing Designers: Offices and workplaces for knowledge workers

The book of the Designing Designers 2008 conference where I attended some months ago with Francesca Murialdo and Lorenzo Bini of studiometrico, has just been published.

Four pages and some pictures of Giuliano Berarducci are dedicated to our COMVERT HQ.

Edited in english language from POLI.design you will find it soon at the bastard store or at the bookstore Hoepli or libreriauniversitaria.it for € 23,00.
