Since the 1920s social science has tended to ignore the physical work environment in any analysis of the changing paradigms of work organization. Yet the office building, office space and office work are interrelated, and the failure to recognize the physical aspects of this relationship may severely restrict our understanding of the determinants of work organization. Space and built structures have both a functional and a symbolic relationship to social organization. Until the early years of this century, for example, churches and city halls were the most imposing urban structures, but they came to be dwarfed by such new temples of capital as the 58-storey Woolworth Building, the "cathedral of commerce", built in New York in 1913. Office buildings are meant to impress, but current human resource management thinking suggests that they may send those who work in them daily signals which run directly counter to the goals and commitments of the company.
