I'm always surprised to see the awful spaces these companies come up with in SV, having been to both FB and Goog's london offices, which are both very nice.

- enraged_camel 11y agoIt's not the companies coming up with the spaces. It's the architects who want to make a name for themselves and earn their astronomical paychecks.
- waterlesscloud 11y agoThe companies are approving them and paying for them, and thus bear the ultimate responsibility for their designs.
- ipsum2 11y agoThe architect of Facebook's new building is Frank Gehry, already well known for his works: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Gehry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Gehry
- akjetma 11y agoFrank Gehry definitely doesn't have to make a name for himself. I'm surprised by how unattractive this is. Though, come to think of it, I can't picture the interior of any Frank Gehry buildings while I can see lots of exteriors.
- cwilkes 11y agoMaybe this is all a colossal puton by Gehry: he hates offices so he makes them crappy. Except companies aren't that smart and end up worshipping the design.
