(for all gadgets)
(including for Apple and Android)
Hidden away from the bustle and intrusiveness of cities, the faceless campuses of Apple, Google, and Facebook rule the world today. However, although the products of these companies are a constant topic of discussion, rarely does anyone talk about the architecture of their offices. What is urbanism like in Silicon Valley? Until now, its campuses have only served as a backdrop for numerous photo shoots of the company's next tanned founder. But no one thought about the urban differences between Facebook Village, Google Village, or the entire city of Twitter, whose leadership recently decided to move to the gentrification-resistant Tenderloin district of San Francisco. Alexandra Lange offers a typology of the campuses of new tech giants and explores what the design of these campuses can tell us about the companies we supposedly know well.
