Surveying thirty-five years of Alan Fletcher's work, this book is an essay upon the design process as undertaken by a tireless and gifted individual. The thinking behind his solutions and methods are illustrated by a range of examples each accompanied by a full commentary from Jeremy Myerson.
The book views working life as a combination of process and experience - what we do, and how we feel. By exploring analogous environments, it builds up a whole new picture of the workplace encompassing not only physical settings but also people's psychological experiences within those spaces.

This book offers a complete re-evaluation of the purpose of the workplace, and explores what happens next.
