This paper considers the rectilinear minisum and minimax location problems from a different point of view in that the orientation of the axes, which define the distances, is now also to be optimized. This corresponds to the situation where the grid of roads or aisles which connects the demand points to the facility, can be designed at the same time as the location of the facility is chosen. Optimization methods are presented for both problems.
