Project: Shire Biotherapeutics Recreational Area
Location: Glendale, California, USA
Situated along the northern edge of a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Glendale, California, BEND is an urban proposal that breaks down the scale of the typical industrial block by incorporating public outdoor spaces.
Serving as a linear marker, the canopy structure that bends along the northern perimeter of the site carves out a public arena for pedestrian activity.
By providing a mixed variety of outdoor spaces, BEND serves as a model for the harmonious interaction between private corporate campuses—prevalent throughout this region—and the general public.
