Richard Rogers designed the Reliance Controls Factory as part of Team 4 in Swindon, England- 1967.
The factory was deisgned to be economic, efficient in construction, and a 'democratic building' in which the factory was not exclusively divided into labourer and manager components.
making use of cheap and easily accessible material, Rogers, optmised the floor space by pushing the main structural elements to the exterior. However, the natural repitition of the steel columns, bracing and metal cladding give the building an architectural quality.
Also, with exploration into glass walling, Rogers imporved the quality of work conditions-allowing sunlight into the building.
