The design of open spaces around a company headquarters or within a company premises are increasingly important - and in some cases now also lucrative - fields of
activity in landscape architecture. On the one hand, com - pany gardens fulfill the function of a signboard advertising
the company. On the other, in times of flexible working
hours, work-life balance and global networking, they are
increasingly emerging as projection screens for innovative
workplace concepts.
The implementations are remarkably diverse, their con - ception often depending on whether the company garden
is directed to the outside world or rather designed for
the employees. It can serve the public as a city park, act
almost as a calling card as part of the corporate identity,
be designed as a quiet oasis for breaks from work or as a
place for informal meetings and collegial communication.
Through selected examples of company gardens from
around the world, this volume reveals the great diversity
present within this field of architecture.
