Still from Jacques Tati’s film Playtime (1967) I have put together a general – but still very select – bibliography of material on open-plan office design, which you can download as a PDF. All items have links for easy consultation.

The bibliography includes the following subheadings:

• Academic articles on open-plan: General
• Academic articles on open-plan: Universities
• Online newspaper and magazine articles/Websites: General
• Online newspaper and magazine articles/Websites: Universities
• The history of open-plan office design
• Articles/Websites on the ‘combi-office’
• Sick building syndrome
• Audio-visual
• Books
