Ellwood / Scientific Data Systems

Scientific Data Systems (SDS) Administration and Engineering Building (1968) by Craig Ellwood Associates (Jim Tyler designed it) .

This is one of four buildings Ellwood's firm designed and built at this El Segundo compound.

Max Palevsky, the owner of SDS, also had his friend Craig Ellwood design a desert house for him in 1969. More on that here.

The sculpture out front makes this building a lot more interesting.  Otherwise, it would just be a Miesian office complex. Though, as far as office complexes go, it's a good one and I'm sure it did the job.

Xerox took over the space after buying SDS in 1970. Now it could be yours!

Ellwood was playing around with hyper-graphics at the SDS complex.
