Google currently doesn't have space. MTV offices are packed, there's little space left to seat new employees, and no parking (pretty much have to rely on valet service)
Google has only 3 options:
1. find existing buildings nearby, but this increases sprawl even more
2. move to another city or only open space in other cities
3. build new buildings on land holdings you already have
#1 and #2 have the downsides of making it harder to collaborate.
It's not "Edifice Complex" if you have no choice but to build more space. And so, if you're going to build new buildings, why not get what you want to satisfy your requirements rather than a cookie cutter design?
