Office building - Jimushokenchiku (English) office building

Japanese: 事務所建築 - じむしょけんちく（英語表記）office building

The main part of the building is designed for use as an office and its ancillary rooms. With the development of commerce and industry after the Industrial Revolution, the number of office buildings has increased dramatically in order to streamline office functions for efficiency and economy. They are often concentrated in specific areas, which creates a need for efficient land use and, combined with advances in building technologies such as reinforced concrete and steel structure, has promoted the emergence of high-rise and super-tall buildings. In recent years, intelligent buildings have been increasingly equipped with office automation and advanced information and communication functions, providing comfortable working environments.

建物の主要部分が，事務室とその付属室用に設計されたもの。事務所建築は産業革命以後の商工業の発達によって，能率と経済性のうえから，事務機能の合理化をはかるため，飛躍的な増加をみた。特定の地域に集中して建設されることが多く，土地の効率的な利用の必要を生じさせるとともに，鉄筋コンクリート，鉄骨構造などの建築技術の進歩と相まって，高層建築，超高層建築の出現を促進した。近年はビルにオフィス・オートメーションや高度な情報通信機能を備え，快適な職場環境設備をもつインテリジェント・ビル化が進んでいる。
