Facebook’un yeni ofisi için çağdaş mimariye kazandırdığı tasarımlarıyla alanında süperstarlığa ulaşmış Frank Gehry ile çalışacağı konuşuluyordu. Palo Alto’ya inşa edilen Menlo Park kampüsün tamamlanmasıyla Facebook çalışanları hem yeni binalarına kavuşmuş oldu hem de kampüsten fotoğraflar hızla medyada, ağırlıklı olarak Instagram’da, yerini aldı.

Zuckerberg’in tanımlamasıyla dünyanın en büyük açık alan planına sahip kampüsün verimliliğe etkisi üzerine tartışmalar bir yana, dokuz dönümlük yeşil alana sahip 430 bin metrekarelik kampüsün verdiği park ortamıyla çalışanlar kendilerini doğaya olabildiğince yakın hissediyor. Son derece basit, esnek, şeffaf gelişmeye açık bir izlenim vermesi planlanmış binanın böylelikle Facebook’un değerlerini temsil etmesi hedeflenmiş. Böylelikle karşımıza tamamen boş, dev bir oda niteliğinde 21 metrelik bir yapı çıkıyor.

Frank Gehry is a genius, even in the way he designs staircases, with three story windows flooding light into the building. #MPK20

I was very honored to be invited by @facebook to be one of the first to see the new addition to their headquarters, a beautiful futuristic building designed by famed architect Frank Gehry, who is responsible for the design of the Walt Disney Concert Hall, the Guggenheim Museum in Spain, and many other famous structures throughout the world. The space was vast and colorful, filled with art installations, themed work spaces, and a 9-acre sustainable garden on the roof. Facebook worked with 15 different artists who are a part of their local residency and each piece of art inside was created on site with the intention to reflect Facebook's culture and function as a social media. Stay tuned for more pictures! #MPK20firstlook

Was super stoked to get a sneak peek first look at the new building on the @facebook campus yesterday, along with a couple of my favorite Instagrammers. The spaces are colorful and airy to say the least. Most of all the spaces themselves seem to encourage coloring outside the lines and challenging convention. Art installations from local artists decorate many of the spaces of this new building, designed by Frank Gehry, and much of the space has an industrial feel, featuring exposed support beams and plywood surfaces. Check out the rest of the photos at #MPK20firstlook I'll be posting more throughout the day. ✌️

Resisting the urge to spam all the photos from yesterday's first look at the new Gehry building at @facebook ! Can't wait to share more of the beautiful roof top garden designed by CMG Landscape Architects. The Gehry + CMG combo is bringing out my inner environmental design nerd BIG time ?✏️??? #MPK20firstlook
