You should do two things. 1. Read the source article. 2. Apologize to the poster you just beat up. You are the who's wrong. Jobs did not envision a circle. The circle was an evolution of the design process:Yes he bleeding did. He wanted a goddarn spaceship campus with a shedload of trees. Possessing even the most incidental knowledge of Apple Campus 2 would demonstrate that.
Jeez, watch the video.
"To accommodate the pods, the main building took the shape of a bloated clover leaf—people at Apple called it the propeller—with three lobes doing a Möbius around a center core. But over time Jobs realized that it wouldn’t work. “We have a crisis,” he told the architects early in the spring of 2010. “I think it is too tight on the inside and too wide on the outside.” This launched weeks of overtime among Foster’s 100-person team to figure out how to resolve the problem. (Their ranks would eventually reach 250.) In May, as he was sketching in his book, Foster wrote down a statement: “On the way to a circle.”...
By June 2010 it was a circle. No one takes full credit for the shape; all seem to feel it was inevitable all along. “Steve dug it right away,” Foster says."
All of this occurred before that 2011 meeting with the city council.
