Quality for citizens

Article Abstract:

The architectural design for the Citizens Advice Bureau in Chessington is a modern construction which is made up of several square blocked rooms with glazed and framed walls. It caters for disabled and able-bodied people and has includes heating, lighting and security technological innovations. Its appropriateness is questionable in terms of its usage, because the staff of the centre are unlikely to be able to manage the new technology.
