The office tech campus transforms the typical high rise office building into a frame, nestled between a major highway and a surrounding neighborhood in the bleak context of Los Angeles’ urban sprawl. The campus challenges the generic office type by organizing itself in a continuos line that defines a perimeter. The perimeter frame sinuosly carves the terrain, fraying at irregular intervals to correspond to the varying scales surrounding the site. The frame sequesters the sloping topography, acting as a threshold between interior and exterior that protects the panoramic interior from the highway axis. While it severs itself from urban sprawl on one side, it creates a theatrical dialogue with the neighborhood above, carving the hill to provide access below. Silicone Beach sets up an architectural performance that uses its infrastructure as a supporting stage.
