SAMSUNG USA RESEARCH TOWER
Devoted to the study of advanced technologies in sensory robotics and machine learning, the Samsung Research Tower is an incubator for future-defining technology, and an icon in the Los Angeles skyline.
In contrast to the stereotypical tech environment of the office park or the repurposed garage, work in the SRT takes place in scupltural chambers, embedded in the cartesian form of the office tower. These multi-level spaces provide dynamic circulation opportunities between levels, corroding the typical pancake office floors.
The diagram of LA is a modernist one, of infinite potential in the horizontal direction. Despite its vertical massing, the stacked forms embedded in the tower imply an affiliation with these horizontal vectors - a totem rather than an obelisk.
