Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: The example of the new landscaped office is shown here. It shows employees in one big open space with no solid partitions. The plants act as dividers; and also help bring nature into the office. Architects used to design most offices. Today many new ones are being planned by architects who consult first with behavioral scientists to see how employees will react to the environment. Communication is improved.
