An
office is a room or other area in which people work,
but may also denote a position within an organisation
with specific duties attached to it (see officer,
office-holder, official); the latter is in fact an
earlier usage, office as place originally referring
to the location of one's duty.
When used as an adjective, the term office may refer
to business-related tasks. In legal writing, a company
or organization has offices in any place that it has
an official presence, even if that presence consists
of, for example, a storage silo rather than an office.
An office is an architectural and design phenomenon
and a social phenomenon, whether it is a tiny office
such as a bench in the corner of a "Mom and Pop
shop" of extremely small size (see SOHO) through
entire floors of buildings up to and including massive
buildings dedicated entirely to one company. In modern
terms an office usually refers to the location where
white-collar workers are employed during the day. |
