It’s interesting how corporations moved away from skyscrapers and now they are moving to lower spread out campuses. For example, in Chicago, Sears moved out of Sears Tower after just 17 years (which was the tallest building in the world at the time and now called Willis Tower) then built a huge campus in the suburbs. I heard the reason this happened was because employees did not like being separated by elevators (there are over 100 elevators in that building) and they were missing social interaction because of needing to go through 3 different elevator banks to get to a coworker. Because of this they were mostly doing phone calls and were missing interaction. Now that building is rented out to smaller companies so now 1 company might have 1 floor, or half of a floor, or something like that. It works for small companies but not when your company is taking the whole 110 story building.
Google is building what they are dubbing the ground Scraper for their London HQ as it offers a more campus like, collaborative environment where employees are much more likely to interact in a sprawling few story tall structure, rather than a hierarchical skyscraper.
@@iAmMadeOfSoup I doubt it. Because there are still smaller companies in these buildings taking only part of a floor. Or even somewhat large companies taking a few floors. It is just huge corporations doing that

Yes, call me old skool or an OG but I miss the cubicles where designers had privacy and their own mini type of office where they could block out the clutter and background noise.

yes, open work places has been proven shit concepts many times by many different studies. This is the kind of smoke and mirrors people love because it make them feel part of something cool and futuristic
Exactly! So many scientists already proved it is improves misanthropy! There is no team building or inspirational shit in it - just capitalism (because you can put more people in one place) and as you sad micromanagment...
@Achyut Reddy yeah definitely not 90. But I don't see apple ever stopping what they're doing. Its one of the largest tech company's in the world. They're going to keep improving for years to come
Amazon wants to destroy it but technically it’s a historic landmark so they slap some brown paint on it and throw 5 billion rakes inside and keep in the corner of Amazon Park
In a thousand years, the only Apple people are going to know, are those which grow on trees. Of all those billions of dollars Apple used to build that circle, I never contributed a penny. Since, I have never own anything, made by Apple. I personally think, everything Apple makes it's overrated, and overpriced.
So that Apple workers can live out their entire working lives on a university-like campus. Just like being back at college, where no doubt many of them felt happiest and most secure...
Look, I'm usually a huge Apple critic, but I feel like this is less a jab at Apple and more of a reflective moment about how Corporate America is absolutely soul sucking and dreary. God forbid a company make their office and working life a little less shit for their employees.
@@jennychan5314 "God forbid a company make their office and working life a little less shit for their employees". That premise might hold more water if the company in question cared enough to take a survey of what its employees actually considered desirable in the workplace. As far as I can tell, that wasn't the case here
@@enriqueali I mean usually the employees don't design the workplace, usually the company does, and this is better than 90% of workplaces so I don't understand your problem
@@StJamesProds Is it? It's too open, no privacy, no opportunity to concentrate and focus. The the video mentions that many employees complained about this. That it does look good doesn't mean it is a good work space. This building is style over function.
This was the former HP Cupertino site. I worked there in the late 80s and 90s. It had many of the same features - open courtyards, large theater, central employee restaurant. It was very square and linear. Everyone, including senior executives, worked in cubicles. When it was built, it incorporated many new design and workplace ideas that were novel at the time. As befit the HP corporate culture, it was much more modest in its materials than its Apple successor. I loved working there, especially having meetings outside in the large open courtyards. HP was a special company.
@@sammythedogee yeah mate, don't you understand. Those Chinese sweatshop workers were all part of his plan! It's so great to see them respecting Steve jobs.
I like how they explain Apple's eating area like its some brand new innovative concept that encourages interaction as opposed to just being a standard school/prison/mall food court/cafeteria which has been in place for a 100 years! epitomizes the self aggrandizing nature of Silicon Valley...
@@the_manchovie1795 I have nothing against apple but with that reply you're just the average apple user who thinks that iPhones are the most expensive phones
You won't hear much talk of the construction everyone signed a NDA except for the precast plant. They also took everyone's phone when you walked in the gate to do your construction work.
It seems like the future because everything is wafer thin. The reality is it’s a mess to build and maintain. you have to hemorrhage 5 bil cash on cracked shipments of curved glass from Italy until it works. It’s a vain illusion. It’s all for looks. This is Venustas on crack totally ignoring utilitas and firmitas.
aesthetically very advanced looking (like a flying saucer) this was the intent. I know many people that work there and they say it is nightmare to work in that building
To get from point a. to b. you have to go way around…also since every part of the structure is surrounded by light Tim chose to have no cubicals and everyone must work standing up looking toward the curved windows…unless in conference rooms…
I actually think it's kind of ugly. It's certainly impressive because of it's sheer scale, and I appreciate how the building puts itself into the background and lets nature talk. The building itself is rather dull though. I dislike modern architecture in general but 4 white circles stacked on top of each other is especially uninspiring, other modern buildings at least go all-out on the parametric design. With a 5 billion dollar budget I'm sure you could have done better. Though if you're driving past apple park you see almost nothing of the ring so I guess it doesn't really matter how a building looks like if you never have to look at it from up close. In the video they mentioned inspiration taken from oxford university--now that's a good looking compound. Not that I ever imagined apple building a historicist HQ and of course they have different constraints, like maximizing natural light coming in etc. Still, apple park is like, just another run-of-the-mill office building, I'm not sure what everyone is raving about. I'm sure it's nice on the inside and it has plenty of amenities but the building itself doesn't deserve the praise it's getting.
@@Schindlabua SC…nice analysis…to add it is a nightmare to go from one office to another if the other is on the other side of the sphere…you have to weave in and out of things and go completely around…
That's an amazing presentation of the Incredible Apple Park. For some reason, the areal shots make the ring look like its enclosing a jungle in desperate need of landscaping. An impressive facility nonetheless.
"To keep ideas flowing" "so workers will be in deep concentration" All that awesome park and it took them 1 whole year to come up with just reducing notch size by 20%?
They also made a chip based on ARM silicon which is 50% more efficient than an x86 or x64 equivalent. That is an almost unbelievable improvement to CPU and GPU techonology.
I really don't like Apple, but I have to be honest. This building is amazing and a true tribute to Steve Jobs dream. Wish I could work somewhere with 10% of this inspiration!
I help commission this building right after construction. After such, I worked as a constrols engineer operating the campus. We only had a 6 man crew. Daily id run reports relative to outside air conditions making the determination to open the 100’ Megadoors. The campus is environmentally conscious and efficient .
@@arnowisp6244 ur argument is weak. If COVID-19 benefited tech companies like Apple, then other tech companies like Huawei, Samsung etc... should’ve had a good year as well, BUT the facts states otherwise.
@@AbdulAziz4CaNaDa Then show me your facts then. Besides it's no mystery Amazon benefited so much from Covid 19. Small businesses are closed and people can only buy from them. Don't know if Huawei and Samsung are fully equipped to take advantage of the pandemic but I do know Apple push for it's services like Apply pay will get a big boon from this.
@@JoeSchmo680 No unfortunately not yet. And unfortunately the best way to get to Apple Park is to get a job there or have family that works for Apple. Or a TH-camr.
I prefer the approach Microsoft was taking to buildings when I worked for them in the late 1980s. Rather than a distracting open office plan, everyone got their own office. Rather than consign the outside views to the short time someone is walking down a hall, each office had a window on a wooded outside, either inside the ring or outside. The windowless areas were where people spend little time-halls, storage areas, refreshment areas, and conference rooms. And there was also another difference. Rather than one huge building, there were a number of them, making work more intimidate.
When I worked at a gas station some customers used to brag about their Apple pay option. It was just after Apple launched it. They were amazed that they could pay using their phones. The joyfulness dimmed pretty quickly when I said I used my Sony Xperia to do it from 2012.
If this building enabled Apple to create such dope marketing material and transitions for their Events, I think it should be the first example to be shown to students of Architecture, so they understand the importance of place and space
Here in Brazil buildings are legally required to mark glass panels and doors so people don't run into them. This is usually done with a sandblasted horizontal strip. It actually looks good.
Both Apple and Google are pushing the boundaries of building tech which I think is fantastic. For architects and engineers they are akin to the royal patrons who supported artists in Renaissance Europe.
I’m an architecture student and this is my favorite building, I think what people criticize is exactly what make it special, if it wasn’t extravagant or perfect enough, they wouldn’t have make the calculations and the work to achieve that “floating roof” of the theater or the huge sliding doors, sometimes perfection is good
Although impressive as a circle, the new headquarters could have been in the shape of an Apple which would seem to have been more interesting & appropriate!

Now every design office is open concept, open/all glass, no blinds, shared work spaces etc. Ask any graphic designer how they like working with the 2 o'clock sun beaming through the glass walls onto their display and the entire office being able to watch their every move...ugh.
There is definitely more to the design that meets the eye.
yes, open work places has been proven shit concepts many times by many different studies. This is the kind of smoke and mirrors people love because it make them feel part of something cool and futuristic
Exactly! So many scientists already proved it is improves misanthropy! There is no team building or inspirational shit in it - just capitalism (because you can put more people in one place) and as you sad micromanagment...
@Porcupine I wouldn't put it past them to have hidden cameras and hidden microphones, after all its Apple.
This is a great video! I watched it from start to end and i really enjoyed it! Great work man, keep it up!
So glad that historic barn was saved
Imagine after 1000 years historians talk: This was the art by a company called "Apple"
Apple is definitely gonna be around in a thousand years. Apples probably gonna be responsible for 90% of the future
@Achyut Reddy yeah definitely not 90. But I don't see apple ever stopping what they're doing. Its one of the largest tech company's in the world. They're going to keep improving for years to come
Amazon wants to destroy it but technically it’s a historic landmark so they slap some brown paint on it and throw 5 billion rakes inside and keep in the corner of Amazon Park
@@georgefloydgaming596 Actually Apple is the largest company in the world, with a value over 2trillion dollars
In a thousand years, the only Apple people are going to know, are those which grow on trees. Of all those billions of dollars Apple used to build that circle, I never contributed a penny. Since, I have never own anything, made by Apple. I personally think, everything Apple makes it's overrated, and overpriced.

So that Apple workers can live out their entire working lives on a university-like campus. Just like being back at college, where no doubt many of them felt happiest and most secure...
Look, I'm usually a huge Apple critic, but I feel like this is less a jab at Apple and more of a reflective moment about how Corporate America is absolutely soul sucking and dreary.

@@jennychan5314 "God forbid a company make their office and working life a little less shit for their employees". That premise might hold more water if the company in question cared enough to take a survey of what its employees actually considered desirable in the workplace. As far as I can tell, that wasn't the case here
@@enriqueali I mean usually the employees don't design the workplace, usually the company does, and this is better than 90% of workplaces so I don't understand your problem
@@jennychan5314 Like ignoring their critic and safety like Apple does?
@@StJamesProds Is it? It's too open, no privacy, no opportunity to concentrate and focus. The the video mentions that many employees complained about this. That it does look good doesn't mean it is a good work space. This building is style over function.
This was the former HP Cupertino site. I worked there in the late 80s and 90s. It had many of the same features - open courtyards, large theater, central employee restaurant. It was very square and linear. Everyone, including senior executives, worked in cubicles. When it was built, it incorporated many new design and workplace ideas that were novel at the time. As befit the HP corporate culture, it was much more modest in its materials than its Apple successor. I loved working there, especially having meetings outside in the large open courtyards. HP was a special company.
HP Cupertino was my first job out of college back in 1997. Now I'm working at the Ring. I feel like I've come full circle.
I loved the video tour. I am so impressed with Apple partk.
its crazy how they still respect and build the things he wanted apple is so kind to there remembered employees

The designers and constructors of this masterpiece did such a great job
You won't hear much talk of the construction everyone signed a NDA except for the precast plant. They also took everyone's phone when you walked in the gate to do your construction work.
Yeah, Norman Foster himself doing a lot of works like this. Unconventional, yet had a lot of critique in the architecture community.
Hideous fish bowl
It seems like the future because everything is wafer thin. The reality is it’s a mess to build and maintain. you have to hemorrhage 5 bil cash on cracked shipments of curved glass from Italy until it works. It’s a vain illusion. It’s all for looks.

Interesting. Why?
To get from point a. to b. you have to go way around…also since every part of the structure is surrounded by light Tim chose to have no cubicals and everyone must work standing up looking toward the curved windows…unless in conference rooms…
@@Williamb612 lol umm no. Stop lying dude.
I actually think it's kind of ugly. It's certainly impressive because of it's sheer scale, and I appreciate how the building puts itself into the background and lets nature talk. The building itself is rather dull though. I dislike modern architecture in general but 4 white circles stacked on top of each other is especially uninspiring, other modern buildings at least go all-out on the parametric design. With a 5 billion dollar budget I'm sure you could have done better. Though if you're driving past apple park you see almost nothing of the ring so I guess it doesn't really matter how a building looks like if you never have to look at it from up close.
In the video they mentioned inspiration taken from oxford university--now that's a good looking compound. Not that I ever imagined apple building a historicist HQ and of course they have different constraints, like maximizing natural light coming in etc. Still, apple park is like, just another run-of-the-mill office building, I'm not sure what everyone is raving about. I'm sure it's nice on the inside and it has plenty of amenities but the building itself doesn't deserve the praise it's getting.
@@Schindlabua SC…nice analysis…to add it is a nightmare to go from one office to another if the other is on the other side of the sphere…you have to weave in and out of things and go completely around…
Apple employee timesheet:
Walking around in office - 2.5hrs
Great video. Really informative.
That's an amazing presentation of the Incredible Apple Park. For some reason, the areal shots make the ring look like its enclosing a jungle in desperate need of landscaping. An impressive facility nonetheless.
It's just like I see my imaginary building. The coolest building ever in the World

Jdhhd
Would suggest you to take a look at McLaren British HQ
burn it would be fun 😃
This by far is my favorite designed building on the planet. It looks so futuristic.
"To keep ideas flowing" "so workers will be in deep concentration" All that awesome park and it took them 1 whole year to come up with just reducing notch size by 20%?
They also made a chip based on ARM silicon which is 50% more efficient than an x86 or x64 equivalent. That is an almost unbelievable improvement to CPU and GPU techonology.
@@setmason1510
But yet they still use lightning chargers.
I really don't like Apple, but I have to be honest. This building is amazing and a true tribute to Steve Jobs dream. Wish I could work somewhere with 10% of this inspiration!
And how many apple trees does one see?
The idea of aesthetics and recreation being given its place is great.
Those 4-story sliding doors tho...🙌🏼
i was the foreman for those doors it was amazing project
I help commission this building right after construction. After such, I worked as a constrols engineer operating the campus. We only had a 6 man crew.
Daily id run reports relative to outside air conditions making the determination to open the 100’ Megadoors.
The campus is environmentally conscious and efficient .
"This is a HEALTHY year for APPLE" 🍎

No shit, everyone is stuck at home and so have to use apple services to entertain, work and pay for online with apple pay.
@@arnowisp6244 ur argument is weak. If COVID-19 benefited tech companies like Apple, then other tech companies like Huawei, Samsung etc... should’ve had a good year as well, BUT the facts states otherwise.
@@AbdulAziz4CaNaDa Then show me your facts then.

I'm sure they have a roomba to push the dead birds over to the historic maintenance shack.
I prefer the approach Microsoft was taking to buildings when I worked for them in the late 1980s. Rather than a distracting open office plan, everyone got their own office. Rather than consign the outside views to the short time someone is walking down a hall, each office had a window on a wooded outside, either inside the ring or outside. The windowless areas were where people spend little time-halls, storage areas, refreshment areas, and conference rooms. And there was also another difference. Rather than one huge building, there were a number of them, making work more intimidate.
Super excited to be working here starting next month!

When I worked at a gas station some customers used to brag about their Apple pay option. It was just after Apple launched it. They were amazed that they could pay using their phones. The joyfulness dimmed pretty quickly when I said I used my Sony Xperia to do it from 2012.
that's very interesting. I'd love to know which stores accepted wireless payment before Apple made it mainstream?

If this building enabled Apple to create such dope marketing material and transitions for their Events, I think it should be the first example to be shown to students of Architecture, so they understand the importance of place and space
I want to work at Apple now just to work there everyday. Absolutely gorgeous.
i think the reaction you’re having was the whole point of making it look so nice
Here in Brazil buildings are legally required to mark glass panels and doors so people don't run into them.
This is usually done with a sandblasted horizontal strip. It actually looks good.
A couple months after the building was opened to workers they decided to add something similar.
What a beautiful HQ
Both Apple and Google are pushing the boundaries of building tech which I think is fantastic. For architects and engineers they are akin to the royal patrons who supported artists in Renaissance Europe.
In fact I think future generations will look back on them as exactly that. 21st century art patrons
I’m an architecture student and this is my favorite building, I think what people criticize is exactly what make it special, if it wasn’t extravagant or perfect enough, they wouldn’t have make the calculations and the work to achieve that “floating roof” of the theater or the huge sliding doors, sometimes perfection is good
i really like some of the details. but zaha hadid has to have some of the most amazing architecture
Although impressive as a circle, the new headquarters could have been in the shape of an Apple which would seem to have been more interesting & appropriate!
