> Everyone should note that Louise Mozingo has criticized the Apple campus... The quote from the article appears to be related to Apple Park's lack of a childcare facility. (I assume they can easily remedy this.) I can't find any of her criticism elsewhere. Mind sharing some links? (edit: Found something from 2011. No mention of the interior space though. http://articles.latimes.com/2011/sep/10/entertainment/la-ca-applehq-20110911/2 http://articles.latimes.com/2011/sep/10/entertainment/la-ca-...)

Are you suggesting that the parent took a quote out of context, in order to criticize a critic of the apple campus?

  Obviously I didn't. Quotes provided.

'For all the time and money sunk into the project, some in the architecture community question whether Apple has focused on the right ends. The campus is something of an exception to the trend of radically open offices aimed at fostering collaboration, said Louise Mozingo, a professor and chair of the Department of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning at U.C. Berkeley. Its central office building – a massive ring of glass frequently likened to a spaceship – could be a challenge just to navigate, she noted. "It's not about maximizing the productivity of the office space, it's about creating a symbolic center for this global company," she said"' http://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-campus-idUSKBN15M0CM http://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-campus-idUSKBN15M0CM “Mainstream architectural trends are open office space to foster co-operation,” said Louise Mozingo, professor of landscape architecture and urban design in University of California, Berkeley, in an interview with Reuters. “At this point, Apple's new headquarters appears to be an alien.” http://www.yicaiglobal.com/news/50051734.html http://www.yicaiglobal.com/news/50051734.html I suspect her quote from the new article has nothing to do with child-care, and was bastardized from her previous comments.

  Thanks for these. The second article quotes a Reuters article I can't find with Google. Honestly in the Reuters article you provided I can't tell if she's advocating for open offices or merely pointing out that Apple is going against the trend. She does have strong criticism against the notion that Apple has built itself a kind of island away from the community around it, however. Which is fair, I think. Thanks again for the links.

    The lack of strongly advocating is a good point actually - any expert in a field should never strongly advocate for one thing or another when it comes to subjects like these (which depend on things like objectives and the people involved).

  I would love to see Louise Mozingo's workspace. A brief google didn't turn up anything useful.
