more commentszuckerberg’s tush does look cute in those jeans…
It’s hard to judge a model, but looks like Apple’s new infinite loop HQ by Norman Foster is a lot more imaginative, suggestive of Apple’s creative leadership, and possibly an aid to innovation by the way it stimulates movement and flow throughout the building.
This seems like a village that’s emerged naturally, which is the way a facebook account starts and grows, of course. But it looks as if it might lead to dispersion, with units and teams isolated from each other.
The choice of Gehry is odd. He’s mainly known for wonderful concert halls and a few remarkable apartment buildings, not campuses or urban planning. I would have chosen, say, Diller + Scofidio or maybe Renzo Piano.
How can 2 pathetic individuals produce something of interest? Let’s not waste our time here?
Flat, huge, as creative than an average shopping mall.
Probably the result of two great minds spoiling a very interesting potential project.
Zuckerberg is not an Architect.
Gehry is maybe too old.
This project is really bad, who can build, with the power of facebook, a flat parking lot ?
Look at Herzog & de Meuron’s parking Lot round the corner of Lincoln road Miami.
They probably missed something at the basis of this project : What does Facebook want to tell us about their future ?
Why is frank gehry still getting work? Zucker might be too young too realize…
