Building for knowledge sharing - the architect as chameleon

Abstract

As the architect’s profession becomes increasingly elastic, embracing an evergrowing range of disciplines, so do the ways in which information flows within companies or public information needs within a local population. Examines the relevant issues in the context of specific case studies, including the architect firm Bisset Adams’ work for Tower Hamlets ‘Idea Stores’ libraries scheme and the Post Office’s new innovation lab.
