Sitzend überleben
Carolin Schmitz
People spend at least eight hours a day working. During this time, they are surrounded by other people they didn’t choose to be with, work in places they didn’t choose to be in but which were built especially for this purpose. In Sitzend überleben, we get to know architects and the places where they work.
