Inmos Factory, Wales
The Inmos Factory in Wales, designed by Richard Rogers, is one of the early High Tech Buildings that served as a precedent for a new type of exposed steel architecture that used tension support systems to hang things like roof elements, that would normally have been supported by columns. This rather fanciful structural language created buildings whose structure and detailing system set them quite apart from more usual "grounded" architecture.
