Plans for the new DJI headquarters in China aim to defy traditional office spaces. <\/span>

International architectural, design, and engineering firm Foster + Partners<\/a> has unveiled its design of a new headquarters, located in Shenzhen, China, for technology company DJI<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Comprised of two towers, the development \u201cdefies the traditional idea of office space\u201d in order to \u201cform a creative community in the sky,\u201d according to Foster + Partners. The buildings combine research and development (R&D) spaces with offices and testing laboratories. The floors are arranged in floating volumes, supported by large steel mega-trusses, which project from the structure\u2019s center, creating a column-free space throughout with unique quadruple-height drone flight testing labs. A sky bridge, which will be used as a platform for showcasing drone technology, connects the two towers.<\/p>\n

Plans for the development\u2019s ground floor include a public exhibition space, showcasing DJI\u2019s advances in technological development, as well as a theater for product launches and a variety of staff facilities, including gymnasiums and robot-fighting rings.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur aim is to create a unique workplace environment that embodies the spirit of invention and innovation that has allowed DJI to lead the world in robotics and technology,\u201d said Grant Brooker, head of studio with Foster + Partners.<\/p>\n
