Guess how individual workspaces will look like. I bet it will be old good terrible gray 6x6 cubicles. EDIT: To all downvoters: https://assets.wired.com/photos/

  Why guess? There are pictures in the article... In fact, the whole thing was apparently designed around the workspace concept... I have to presume, but it sounds like you didn't read the article before commenting.

    I really didn't find any pics of the workspace in the article. If it is not much work, can you link to the pic here?

      They hid them in slideshows :-) Behold, in new Apple office, depressive windowless cell is called "a pod": https://assets.wired.com/photos/w_1970/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/apple-gallery3.jpg https://assets.wired.com/photos/w_1970/wp-content/uploads/20...

        That does not seem like a nice workspace at all. I had seen that but thought it's a one-on-one meeting room or something. But it seems like a "pod" is supposed to work for everything (meetings, individual work, socializing?).

        This looks like a solitary confinement cell in jail. Just need to change the colors.

        Looks like servant quarters from Downtown Abbey.

        Work areas have more than one dimension. Perhaps there are windows in one of the many directions this photo is not showing? If you see the picture in the slide show, you'll see that pods provide everyone with a private office, with a huge sliding glass door, and plentiful storage options. The drones at Facebook would feel like they died and went to heaven.

      Yes, pods have walls and table tops. They can also have huge glass walls that slide open, and storage units so they remain neat. Why don't you post a picture of that, instead of spamming this one? Or do you promote open work plans in your day job?
      • ar15saveslives 9y ago
        Which image are you talking about? It's a cage without natural light, I don't understand how a glass door makes it better. Actually it's even worse, because it's a depressive as a cubicle, but without "privacy". > Why don't you post a picture of that, instead of spamming this one? Sorry, image urls buried deep inside, I had to use dev tools to extract them. > Or do you promote open work plans in your day job? Promoting a weird idea that every human being (even if he/she is a developer) deserves a window, fresh air and natural light, is my little personal war. And there's no "open space" vs "gray cages" dichotomy. Our team works in a quiet room with big windows, for example.

          There is no indication from the photos that they don't have windows, we don't see the direction from where the pictures are taken from. We only see that on one side they have storage. https://www.wired.com/2017/05/apple-park-new-silicon-valley-campus/#slide-5 https://www.wired.com/2017/05/apple-park-new-silicon-valley-...
