Take a look at Google’s revolutionairy new headquarters design

While Apple is hard at work on its futuristic “spaceship” headquarters, Google has something a bit more radical in mind, perhaps even revolutionairy. Google’s vision for its new headquarters is filled with transparent, tent-like buildings and re-configurable workspaces that are peppered with pleasant walkways and as much nature as the company can pack in. 

Apple is building a massive spaceship, enclosing a private eden dotted with apricot trees. Facebook is working on a forest-topped hanger, reportedly with a single room big enough to house 3,400 workers. Now, we have our first glimpse of what Google’s envisioning for its own futuristic headquarters: A series of see-through, tent-like structures, draped in glass, whose interior workspaces can be reconfigured on a massive scale according to the company’s needs. In a new video released this morning, Google showed off an ambitious proposal for a future North Bayshore campus in Mountain View. The concept was produced by the firms of Thomas Heatherwick and Bjarke Ingels, two of architecture’s fastest rising stars. Heatherwick Studio, based in the UK, was responsible for the torch at the London Olympics. The Bjarke Ingels Group, based in Denmark, is working on a trash-to-power plant in Copenhagen that will double as a ski slope.
