I seem to somehow pick up everything Apple related just to read up on it. I can sometimes find myself pouring over websites and text that describe the company’s history all in all. I even have the movie about how Microsoft picked a fight with Apple back in the eighties. The movie is of course called Pirates of Silicon Valley, and it’s a rather geeky movie about the two companies that I can recommend to anyone interested in them. I don’t know if the movie is entirely true; however, is quite entertaining and points out some of the reasons why both Microsoft and Apple became the world’s most profitable companies.
Now that Apple just officially became the world’s most valuable company in the world, they are of course expanding their business and planning to build a new headquarters. There have been some pictures of what they are planning to build, however not until recently have we seen exactly where it is that Steve Jobs is planning to house his minions. There have recently been some additional images released about what exactly this new headquarters is going to look like, which are designed by Foster + Partners. If you thought they would go for something extravagant and eye catching then you are completely right.
The images show us a circular and somewhat spaceship like building in the middle of nature. It is several stories tall and comes with an all glass decorated facade with what looks like some baller rooms for inspiration and creativity. The space around the building is all covered in vegetation and will serve a good use for anyone who is up for a run or who just wants to sit in the grass and come up with the next super product to be launched by the company. Only the future will tell whether or not this whole project will make Apple even more profitable; however, I am not going to be late saying this new building and headquarters is just badass in so many ways. Could you imagine yourself working in that office, or do you think it has too little privacy?
