(including for Apple and Android)
Hidden from the hustle and bustle of cities, faceless campuses Apple, Google, Facebook rule the world today However, although the products of these companies are a constant subject of debate, rarely does anyone talk about the architecture of their offices. What is the urbanism of Silicon Valley? Until today, its campuses only served as a background for numerous photos of the next tanned founder of the company. But no one thought about the urban differences between the village of Facebook, Google or the whole city of Twitter, whose leadership recently decided to move to the intractable gentrification of the central district of San Francisco Tenderloin. Alexandra Lange offers a typology of campuses of new tech giants and explores what the design of these campuses can tell us about supposedly well-known companies. Translation: Oksana Yakymenko
