Abstract
Research and technology buildings represent the growing importance of knowledge-intensive occupations in our industrial society. Today, more than 50 % of all occupations are rated as particularly knowledge-intensive — and this figure is rising. At the beginning of the 20th century only approx. 15 % were rated as such. Even in the industrial sector, knowledge-intensive occupations, for example construction, analysis, or service are more critical than the actual production.
