I sympathize with the programmers. Open concept is fantastic. It's bright, airy, energizing and for a lot of people reduces anxiety and encourages a feeling of community and socializing. But I remember in college how much we needed the lab dungeon. No windows, minimal glass, just white walls. Sometimes you wouldn't even have phone service. Just a way to go down and cut off all distractions and connections besides you, your thoughts, and whatever you were working on. Everything in life is made of compromises and if there's one thing Steve Jobs wasn't known for, it was compromising.

Yes. Multiple studies have shown that open office plans are bad for productivity. The idea that you will be more productive when you're surrounded by a bunch of people talking and laughing and coughing and farting as opposed to being in a quiet place without distractions is laughable. And notice how often companies move to an open floor plan yet the top executives keep their offices. That should be a clue.

I work at home and when the weather is sunny I struggle to focus. When it's raining my productivity skyrockets, I can relate to the programmers also. In an evolutionary point of view this makes a lot of sense since our ancesters used to be in the nature hunting or relaxing most of the time, so, when we have natural light and nature I think that it's pretty normal that we can't focus as much, we were not "designed" to be rat labs.

Honestly I was pretty impressed until I saw they took an "open pot concept" that took it's cues from "co-working spaces". I can't stand that. That singlehandedly kills any desire I have to work there (Not that I was ever going to be in a position to work for Apple, but just as a generic "What if I was a highly paid programmer?"). Those spaces are anathema to me getting work done, not to mention the vast openness of it would leave me in a perpetual state of slightly aroused anxiety. Not enough to cause real damage or anything, but enough to always be slightly on edge. Amusingly, this is making me realize I can appreciate cramped conditions because they feel secure and cozy. Only having one direction other people can approach from is also huge.

I can imagine for certain tasks this would be the case. I suppose in our current day and age those programmers who would rather be isolated would be able to work from home and those who prefer to be in the collaborative space would go to Apple Park.

The trees Dave selected for Apple Park and how they were grown changed the nursery industry in California. The trees are natural hybrids of different drought tolerant oaks native to climates which resemble what the Bay Area will be in 50-100 years, and were grown in nurseries for the first time for this project. The pots the trees grew in are completely different than the hard-sided ones usually seen. They allow trees to grow faster, cheaper, and with better root systems that don’t wrap around. All the trees grown for this project came out so well, that California’s largest tree grower switched all of their nurseries to this new pot.

Most development does not require collaboration, except on integration points, so I have little need for the constant open air to the people around me.

For all its beauty it's a nightmare of a HQ in terms of sustainability. Need a car to go anywhere. Unconnected to public transit. Pre-pandemic, there was a trend for corporate HQs to return to cities - e.g. GE's HQ now in Boston rather than suburban Connecticut. With the partial exception maybe of Amazon, none of the big tech company HQs are great that way. Google, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft - they're all in HQs that depend on cars. In the Bay Area, pre-pandemic, you had this insane dynamic where many/most of the employees lived in San Francisco for the lifestyle, then commuted on buses down to Silicon Valley, etc. Would have made a lot more sense to build Apple's HQ on top of a BART or Caltrain station, but Steve Jobs was a product of the 1970s, when a leafy office park in Silicon Valley was de rigueur. The original conception of Silicon Valley was very much *not* something that depended on public transit, and Steve, for all his product brilliance, was a prisoner of that view.

The open pod areas are a good idea, but should be an addition to rather than replacement of, individual work spaces. At the very least there should be available spaces for a single person or smaller group, which could even be set up as soundproofed rooms within the pod areas. Clear acrylic double pane with those blinds between the panes because sometimes you need to shut out the sights as well as the sounds to concentrate. A dry erase marker could be used to write your name on the door or window in case someone needs to find you. People like to have the ability to put personal touches in their work space, too. Photos, a favorite plant, a snack drawer, a splash of color or poster that calms them or inspires them. Having a space that you feel is yours can be important for morale. Skylights would be nice, too. Not sure white on white is the best idea for parking signage, either. That's asking for trouble. But at least you don't have to worry about getting caught in the rain in the parking lot. They pretty need their own grounds maintenance company.

Modeled after similar ones in Japan, it's one of the ONLY buildings in the US to use base isolation against earthquakes. Meaning that it should survive all but the biggest California tremors. It consists of 692 large, stainless-steel saucers located two stories underground that can shift as far as four feet in any direction. Quite impressive! That being said, I don't blame Apple employees for not liking an open-pod concept. An open-pod concept doesn't encourage working together, it encourages dillydallying. In a personal office, you're focused on you and your goals. As you should be. For those who work more efficiently independently, this is a nightmare.

I think there should be both open-pods as well and private areas. Although I feel saying it encourages dillydallying is disingenuous to those who do not work efficiently alone and work better with a team, alongside the fact these tech companies rely on both employee's ability to work alone, but also employee collaboration and group work to operate as they do. Open-pods are a good idea, but must be balanced with focusing areas to allow for everyone to be accommodated for their specific style of work. Despite that though, as someone with ADHD, this office would be hellish for me, I'd get barely done because I'd be chatting away with a coworker and too busy admiring the greenery and trying to steal a fruit from that orchard. I'd then wind up having to do my work at home at 1 in the morning because that's just how I am.

Perhaps notations for whether or not an employee is busy on their own work in an open collaborative area, like a light system. But it is also important for people to have a home base, like a main desk.

3:28 For those wondering why the HSBC Building in particular has a unique design for a skyscraper: In Hong Kong (and ancient China), there's a practice called feng shui about arranging the pieces in living spaces to create balance with the natural world. For good feng shui, in Hong Kong, skyscrapers are designed with holes called "dragon gates" to allow dragons to fly from the mountains to the sea every day, thus allowing positive energy flow through the building. But when the neighboring Bank of China Tower by IM Pei was constructed, there was nothing but negative energy flow as feng shui principles were ignored. HK Governor Youde died in 1986 in Beijing from a heart attack, and Hong Kongers blamed the building for this since it overlooked Government House. So to fend off the negative feng shui from the Bank of China Tower and protect the HSBC Building, two cannon-like cranes (shown on the left at 3:34) were constructed to point towards it.

its amazing to me how often "genius" architecture is met with criticism from the people that, ya know, actually have to live and work in it. I grew up in an elementary school that had open concept at its root. And it was a vast open space that very quickly the school realized needed to have flimsy and shoddy partitioning walls put up. This did nothing for the fact that teachers need to, you know, project their voices. So every single student could hear every single teacher throughout the cavernous area. When my schools (yes, plural) were renovated all the way thru my school career, they not surprisingly went back to a traditional design. Similarly, artitechs love to look at awe at brutalist buildings but then can cheerfully walk away as people that live there have to deal with the crumbling and oppressiveness of it.

As a Cupertino resident (since 2016) it always gives a satisfying feeling whenever I drive by the campus.

This is really beautiful... The documtary too.

Apple Park showcases remarkable innovation and creativity in its design, pushing the limits of modern architecture. The meticulous attention to detail in constructing the building is truly extraordinary, making it a masterpiece. ❤

Thank you for this outstanding presentation on the Apple Park design, something a lot of content creators didn't really discuss deep enough on "why".

I'm really glad you highlighted Apple isolating itself from the local community towards the end with these projects. Apple Park is a gorgeous piece of architecture and engineering but a shockingly bad piece of urban design. If you zoom out and look at it from all sides it's met by massive suburban developments of houses in standard California fashion, all of which are several million dollars that skyrocketed due to lack of availability when the campus opened. There's a few small apartment complexes, but there's really nowhere for employees (particularly younger ones) to live without having to commute in. This is true of a lot of tech HQs (exemption being Amazon), but there's a genuine attempt in funding local transit, housing, and designing around city connections with the intent of improving the local economy beyond tax benefits from the others these days. Apple's disinterest in spending their money outside of their own property feels like you're looking over the gates into the palace grounds while the Apple employees drive out at the end of the work day to head back to a city that isn't Cupertino.

You also cannot just plop a gated off $5 billion dollar office space in the middle of suburbia and be shocked that this would be an issue. Apple didn't design it around transit, instead opting to build extremely large parking infrastructure and doubling down by giving no money to public infrastructure. The city shouldn't have to bend to Apple, that's not how good faith developments work.

That's a *lot* of space locked behind a gate that I'm sure very few people comparatively actually use. Why not just keep the space INSIDE the ring private, and let the public use the rest? Why spend a lot of money to do underground parking if you're just going to make two massive garages anyways? I dunno, I got a lot of questions on the use of space with it.

This is the one thing that got me into neo's videos and this is honestly one of my favorite ones yet!

It is hilarious how this video paints Steve Jobs as the creator and assembler of the first Apple computer. Jobs was NOT an engineer he was a salesman. Wozniak created and built the first Apple computer and SHOWED it to Jobs who then built a business around it. Fun fact: I lived in Cupertino in the late 1970s and early 1980s near Apple. When my parents got me my first computer, an Apple II+ in 1979, I took it to Apple Campus to have one of the engineers there help me add a 16k expansion card to it. Back in those days, Apple was small and totally open to helping a kid like that. Back then, Wozniak was the technical star and Jobs was the face of the tiny company. How the narrative has changed.

I've been there. Of course you can't go in the spaceship because it's a working corporate headquarters. But the visitor center across the street is pretty impressive in its own right. You get a better view of the spaceship from the roof and you can't see the whole thing. But what you can see - it's enormous.

Great video. In this project there is literally the entirety of Steve Jobs: looking for perfection even if it does not exist

Steve Jobs idea is insanely cool looking

Wow. That place is truly amazing.

You can really see the breath and life being taking out of Jobs 4 months before his passing.

Apple isn't responsible for that, a succession of governments created that mess and have been incapable of fixing it.

I honestly wouldn't say the campus is a great example of walkability... Takes a while to walk from one end to another. Of course the rest of cupertino is obviously actively pedestrian-hostile

As a person who lives in Cupertino, I appreciate you covering what our little city is known for!

This was phenomenal

I worked here as a software engineer for two years. Most incredible campus I've been a part of.

I would also like to access to public transport - everyone will have to drive to office - they should have built in a city, in a building.

Apple is an awe-inspiring and incredible place to work at but their compensation is somewhat average amongst big tech companies, sitting above Microsoft but below most others. Ultimately I had to put my own financial independence first!
