Mission Improbable
March 3rd, 2010The Mission Bay campus of UC San Francisco is slowly but surely growing with the recent addition of a parking structure designed by local firm WRNS.
Contrasting the rather staid corporate research boxes surrounding it, the crisp white facade of new structure positively glows. Wrapped on two sides with panels of perforated metal, the north east tower acts as a wayfinding beacon through the tree-lined pathways, echoing the Legorretta designed Community Center across campus.
Cut with holes which vary in diameter and spacing, the perforated panels project an ever-changing array of shadows through to the interior of the structure as the sun moves.
