#2When I read about the mothership building I imagine how nice it will be for people working there, mostly because of the large central park in the center. It is important to have areas for employees to recharge after long spells of having their heads down working. When I worked as a contractor at Google, I really enjoyed the outdoor environment at the Mountain View campus to recharge during the day. The new Apple campus looks even better.

#312000 people in one building - wow!

#4> For workers who want to take the café’s pizza back to their pods, Apple created (and patented) a container that lets air and moisture escape so the crust won’t get soggy.
Am I correct in saying that this is just a standard to-go box with holes in the bottom?

As the subheader on article the points out, though, a literal walled garden is pretty funny in this context.

The one giant wart that makes this whole project depressingly not futuristic: 9000+ parking spaces.
The amount of unproductive space devoted to the storage of cars is just mind boggling.
Not much has changed in how people get to work. Single occupancy cars all burning fossil fuel and expelling C02.
It may not be a fancy spaceship, but the 100 year old building I work at in downtown Chicago has indoor bike parking and allows me a nice 20 minute ride on my bike.

Looks like the holes are in the top. Here's the patent: https://www.google.com/patents/US20120024859
"The lid further includes a second integrated top feature that includes apertures that allow an outflow of air"

#9The pods seem quite nicely designed and close to ideal for team development—fully "sealable" for sound isolation while retaining some visual exposure so you can tell at a glance if someone's in a good state for interruption.
But... unless they made some poor choices in framing the shots, is there really no proximate view outside to this lovingly engineered park? Opposite the glass wall, I hope?

Biking to work in a big dense city like Chicago is a lot easier than biking to work from the sprawling suburbs in California. Probably a much shorter trip. I'm sure Apple's spaceship has space for bikes if people want it...
