Corporate architecture

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Corporate architecture is an architectonic discipline which focuses on designing and constructing buildings, spaces or environments with the aim of meeting the needs of a business community (a corporation). It is a physical expression of a company's corporate image and plays a role in the perceptions and behaviours of customers and employees.[1]

Principles and Strategies[]

Corporate architecture can contribute to a firm’s corporate heritage by creating distinct symbols which aid in the transformation of a generic brand into an iconic one.[2] The continuous use and pursuit of specific architectural features can imbue a company with “heritage distinctiveness” if it has continued to exist over many years[3]
