From Xerox’s history in the photocopying industry, the floor plan for the new headquarters building was simply conceived as A4 and A3 intersecting sheets of paper, responding to the site’s two interconnecting orientations. This Headquarters is unusual in that it houses the industrial as well as office functions of Xerox. The idea is that the spaces are as open plan and amalgamated as possible. The building itself is seen a live demonstration of Xerox’s technologies and processes, experienced on a daily basis by its staff and customers.
