The powers that be, apparently, decided to compete not only on its main front, but also in terms of its architecture of future new headquarters. "space drive" Apple have probably all. At least a couple of futuristic buildings just recently introduced NVIDIA . It was the turn Google. Probably many have seen pictures on the web from various corners of the working set of the search giant: entertainment, absence of the usual for many companies sterile working environment.
Google new project called Bay View promises not to retreat from the canons of the company. The complex is connected by bridges four-story buildings, each of which resembles a boomerang, a total area of 100,000 square meters, is designed so that each employee was by no more than two and a half minutes. This is to ensure that employees often "come across" to each other during the day. Also on some roofs can see green areas with swimming pools. According to Google, among the staff survey was conducted in the new campus will take into account the wishes of many workers. The project was created by NBBJ. New campus will be located not too far from the existing (Mountain View).
It should be noted that at the moment Google does not have any buildings that would be built "from scratch" specifically for the needs of the company. All the buildings were purchased and remodeled according to the views of Google. No specific information about the timing of the start of construction there. I wonder who's next to join the race? Maybe Microsoft?
