Apple Submits Revised Plans and Renderings for Apple's New Campus

As a San Jose Sharks fan, even though I'm from and live in Montréal, I know a bit about the area and IIRC, the height is restricted because the SJ Airport was built in a manner that it would be dangerous for aircrafts to fly in a city with buildings that are too tall.
the renderings look outstanding.
For sure this building will be amazing. Too bad Steve will miss this one. I am sure he's looking from above.

I'm so glad that Apple has submitted revised plans and renderings for Apple's new campus, rather than just any old campus. 
I wonder, out of curiosity, if they have a quick way to go from one end of the building all the way to an opposite end.
such a shame Steve never saw his creation come to life. And whats even sadder is when he presented to the council he must have known the end was near
Research
Looks like the research people have an easy in, easy out but are removed from the mother ship.
Wonder if it comes with a running track?

No public transport option (i.e. regional train / long-distance train / subway)? That's kinda ridiculous, especially if there aren't any shuttle buses.
I'd rather be in the city, in a normal building, where I can reduce my environmental footprint.
Meh, at best.

Yeah, but one with an Apple logo on it and it probably has a secret iPhone plug somewhere. And "it's so sterile". I only wonder if a delegation of Foxconn slave workers will be allowed to visit the place once per year to report about the glory of the empire in their worker drone homes in China.
Okay, that's enough evil cynicism for this morning (German time). It sure will be a nice building to look at, but people in their hysteria quickly forget that this is just another corporate building and not a monument.
Nope....that's so 2010. You know Apple....we've had Beige, Colored Plastic, White Plastic, Brushed Aluminium w/Glass...its actually overdue a change. My bet is Black Carbon. They have been converting all their iLife and Pro products to black interfaces instead of the metallic style. I'd bet that the new HQ will have glass around the edge (obviously) with a black/dark aluminium roof. Then they can slap a light up Apple logo on the top and from space it'll look a bit like an old Apple Airport
I really love the concept. I hope that in the future we begin to build more styled buildings like the one that Apple are building. Function is above all important but so is aesthetics. I'm a sucker for the minimalist look.
There is no other building as unique, creative, etc. as like this. I don't mind stopping there one day to visit
The UK's GCHQ (spy agency) beat Apple:

Something about centralizing 13,000 people/2.8 million sq.ft. into one location seems to invite groupthink, plus high cost of living as if margins will forever remain high.

... It is a lot to sweep, so you may have a chance. Just submit your application in time. ;-)
I love how there is smog-like pollution all around in the distance, but the Apple AnusOffice absorbs it all and cleans the environment.
