公司总部周围或公司办公区域的开放空间的设计在景观建筑领域是越来越重要——现在在某些情况下还能带来盈利—的活动场地。一方面，公司花园发挥着一块招牌的功能——宣传公司。另一方面，在灵活工作时间、工作-生活平衡和全球网络化的时代，它们作为创新工作场所概念的投射正在不断发展。实施方式非常多样化，实施的概念常常取决于公司花园是导向外部世界，还是为员工而设计。它可以作为一个城市公园服务于公众，几乎可以充当一张名片作为企业形象的一部分，被设计成一个用作工作休息的安静绿洲或者作为一个非正式会议和同事间气氛融洽的交流的场所。通过从世界各地挑选出来的公司花园范例，本书展示了这个建筑领域呈现的丰富多样性。

Creating Identity with Trees, Plants and Street Furniture

The design of open spaces around a company headquarters or within a company premises are increasingly important – and in some cases now also lucrative – fields of activity in landscape architecture. On the one hand, com - pany gardens fulfill the function of a signboard advertising the company. On the other, in times of flexible working hours, work-life balance and global networking, they are increasingly emerging as projection screens for innovative workplace concepts.

The implementations are remarkably diverse, their con - ception often depending on whether the company garden is directed to the outside world or rather designed for the employees. It can serve the public as a city park, act almost as a calling card as part of the corporate identity, be designed as a quiet oasis for breaks from work or as a place for informal meetings and collegial communication. Through selected examples of company gardens from around the world, this volume reveals the great diversity present within this field of architecture.
