Corning used his concepts in the design of the Decker Building. It was ahead of his time. I see "place" as one of the six pillars of motivation. It is too often overlooked in designing organizations. This is a seminal contribution to organization design.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The Organization and Architecture of InnovationBy Frank Thomas DunnExcellent introduction to understanding the impact of physical space on collaboration and innovation. The book could have offered broader case studies involving conventional office space. not just the landmark buildings of BMW. Steelcase and Skoda. but it creates a credible basis for searching for support for mere mortals.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A different take on driving innovationBy N. S. RothmanThere are many views on what makes an organization innovative. but probably the most overlooked is the impact of the architecture or configuration of their office space. This book provides an excellent treatment of how physical organization can help drive innovation. I enjoyed it!
