Three units of the Paper Partition System (PPS) were installed at the Westwood Recreation Center in Santa Monica, California—one of the shelters for the people affected by the wildfires that occurred in western Los Angeles on January 7–8, 2025.
By setting up the PPS around the Red Cross medical area called the “medical bay,” we can create a space that ensures privacy for both the medical staff and the people receiving care. Shigeru Ban Architects + Voluntary Architects’ Network (VAN) will continue to provide support going forward.
