Cover: This issue of Far East Builder looks into the subject of landscaped offices, their advantages and how they can be made to work efficiently. The example is taken of a single-storey architectural office designed from scratch' on an open-plan basis. The problems of lighting, heating and acoustics are discussed and a young architect gives his impressions of what it is like to work in a landscaped office. In addition a complete complex designed to contain landscaped offices is described and costs and standards compared.
