(2011-06-15) Apple Campus2 Pitch

Steve Jobs himself pitched Apple Computer's plan for Apple Campus2 (HQ) to the Cupertino Ca City Council. They had acquired the land before 2006. The single "spaceship" building will hold 13k employees, compared to 9k in their current cluster of buildings.

An alternate vision by Hillel Schocken. Instead of 12,000 Apple employees circumabulating a single building every day, Apple City would make room for 16,335 workers--on top of 11,180 permanent Cupertino residents. “There’s really no reason for offices to be segregated from the city,” says Schocken. “In fact, it’s beneficial for the company to be integrated with the city.” His students’ plan preserves the footprint of Apple’s proposed headquarters by breaking it up across multiple buildings, a feature of the company’s current campus at One Infinite Loop. “Instead of using a corridor, they’re using the street.”
