Abstract: Abstract Even though organizations consist of communication, it would be perverse to claim that they did not also include things — everything from paper clips to telephones to cars and buildings. To say that these things are only communication is also oddly misleading, since we communicate ‘about’ a telephone on the condition that it exists as a physical object for both sender and receiver. In this section, we shall look at how architecture enters into organizations’ use of aesthetic tools and how it is possible to view buildings as communication.
