I've lived in mountain view since 1990 and I find it interesting that Google is talking about how to work with the environment and have the architecture look like its blended in with nature. but in the shoreline area, mountain view is the one that has been restoring that area and making it nice and then Google comes along and destroys this 1 acre of preserved land for a personal outdoor workout park that is closed to the public. It's an eye sore. The entire shoreline area has taken around 15yrs to restore and it seems like as long as they get what they want, fuck everyone who also lives in the area.
that's too bad, I hope they at least open it to the public :/
Bo Tian That's bull, I jog and workout there every other day, and the only time its open is when people leave the door up, So its really a hit or miss. yeah you get some people playing soccer or working out. But its not open as much as you think. But the bigger issues is that its Public land being used for private use, and your argument is "Its open to the public on weekends" so its closed over 70% of the time. You know the area that mountain view residents fought so hard to clean all of shoreline park up ( because it used to be a land fill area) and now that we have clean the land we can only used that area for less then 30% of the time. Well hot dam. Thank god there is a video showing us how to work with the environment and that we should share, But as long as we Google get 1st dibs on everything you can have whatever is left over.
it's a decision from the local government, not solely google's will. It's either google or some other companies there.
Thanks for sharing tearvon.
Bo Tian Only on the weekends when googlers are not there. What, they don't mix well with the public?
I would clean the toilets to work at google.
Just get a "domestic worker" job with one of high priced Google's employees and you will be cleaning toilets.

Well that sucks.
***** I've read plenty of articles echoing that as well.

Dave Kos You know the thoughts of thousands of google employees? That's amazing.
Forget about it, just give me that spinning chair! :D
Really like that chair!!
This is fantastic! Amazing video capturing a revolutionary project.
The beauty of the overall concept eludes me: Yes, I get the idea that the natural environment is being pushed aside now, with the infrastructure... roads, parking lots, and so on. And the planners rightly see the problems with treating trees as accessories, and so on. But then the solution to encapsulate nature under glass makes little sense to me. Rather than being an open and expansive project working with nature, this idea of putting nature under a dome... isolating it... seems counter-productive to the goal of embracing it. It honestly evokes a snow globe to me.
The design is beautiful, I agree.... but as a sculpture, not as a living, working environment. And why the need anyway? Doesn't the area have one of the nicest climates in the world? Why shut that out under an artificial canopy? And then what? Put in artificial water sources to replace the rain you have now shut out? And what about cooling this gigantic, fake environment? Won't this entail a gigantic energy consumption?
The most brilliant architectural solutions often push the envelope of design, as this does; but they must also solve old problems in clever ways. This does not... it just puts nature... and Google's staff for that matter... into a giant fake world. I wouldn't want to work in that thing... I'd rather be able to go out for lunch, under a real sky, with real trees and a real fresh breeze.
Yeah!!!. True ..why are they creating another fake envelope..you got the point
Really
The plastic-wrap-overtop-existing-structures look seems like overkill of glass. If the road noise is such an issue, innovative acoustical engineering (smart noise cancelling sensors/radiators) could be used in the outside areas open to your envy-worthy climate. In this engineered natural environment, you could hear crickets if you wanted. In a climate that is "weather best by government test", why seal the building within a glass membrane? Other observations: 1. Looking at the renders -- Will anyone work there? 2. Are you really saying that this is going to be treated like public space, with the general public wandering through? 3.Googlers spend most of their time in front of a screen -- The glare on your computer screen is a problem when sitting in a greenhouse, no?
I agree with Brent. In 5:05 they say "Google (...) can't be a fortress that shuts away neighbors/nature...", but that 's exactly what it feels with the plastic-wrap-overtop-existing-structures. So unnatural. Like the Google buses: they're inside while we're outside.
Google gets hundreds of visitors coming to its main campus every day. Just walking around taking pictures. Given the design shows people biking in the "glass tents" I assume its completely open on the sides with the cover protecting from rain and cutting down the light. The Denver and Beijing airports, which I like, have a bit of the feel but they have to be sealed. Northern California weather would need only cooling.
Incredible vision Larry Page . I immediately shared with our [Google] Campus 👍
One Great Company, Two Masterminds. This is gonna be legendary!
great to see a brit at the table.. long vid but stylish to watch..
OK
When i read "The Circle" i were allways imagining something like this you are now working on.
I really support you and the Ideas and visions you have and realized and will realize in the futer are allways a piece of the future brought to the humankind!
Thank you for being what you are Google!
I do not want to watch this
The words are really good. Sometimes we forget the most simple that is to explain our ideas to change obsolete mentalities to achieve nature cities. I really believe in the power of words and the best visualization. I love all Thomas Heatherwick's works. But . . I missed the water management and nature dynamics. The most important . Thanks for share.
that's beyond awesome... I wish I can work in such campus one day
If you look closely at cars on 5:04 - 5:18 you can see they're going backwards
They are going to make the heaven on earth.. Cann't believe and imagine their creativity.. Bravo for this work..
You really inspired me with your vision. I accompany international students, executives and wish I knew how I can tour inside there and present an explanation of this project. Amazing piece of architecture and do futuristic !

This is right next to my house and I can say for sure they cranked up the saturation and put grass in places there isnt any, but saying that this looks pretty damn awesome.
And this is the reason why Google is awesome everyone! I wish I can work for them one day.
Thank you, Google, for working for true innovation that expresses transparency, innovation, and public space, and doing for the real world what you're doing for digital.

The world will be a better place because of collaborations [ Google, BIG and Heatherwick ] where brilliant minds and extraordinary imagination collide creating environments for society to thrive.
The green house idea is great, you could have offices open to nature. Imagine the productivity of someone whose able to have all the technology they need but work in a natural environment too. Also the buildings would last longer because they'd be out of the elements.
If coding with nature was so productive, don't you think the best programmers would be doing so in the park, or on the side of a mountain? The fact is the best work comes from closed spaces where you don't have to worry about the outside world.

If this is to be done within my life time then its a must visit.
I've also heard it will have an innovative solution to homelessness. Surrounding cameras will monitor the area, when it detects you are homeless, a trap door will open and will connect you to an underground water slide that will excrete you into the ocean.

Great minds working on great projects. I'm happy to be living in this day and age.
You Guys are Changing the way we think and live...and taking it to a whole new level...i think google is not just a Company but an Institution...kudos to Google
There is still no explanation as to why constructing domed buildings is supposed to have a magical effect. Or what makes a temperature-controlled dome any more eco-friendly than any other structure? Just to get away from the highway noise? Is this campus supposed to combine workspaces with leisure and residential spaces? Is this by any chance so that Google employees will live and work in the same spot? A cult-like company town, sealed away from the outside world where all the employees can be controlled?

It's not about being eco-friendly. It's about reversing the mistake we made in the 20th Century by making vehicle-centric cities. They even stated that.
pinz2022 Kind of depressing, but the homeostasis would be good for companies.
+Dookie6891 There are not many residential spaces in the development and everyone will still drive to Google
This is so awesome. I would love to work there.
That was beautiful. The design of those buildings reminds me of "spider webs" you see in the lawn in the early morning. Natural and flowing.
that a paradise right there

Anyhow, I just got motivation from this video! Ambitious and hard working makes everything into life ! Great idea and good tech company!
Amazing idea!
= thanks kindly for taking the time to read, consider and thumbs up fair neighbour !
Awesome. Love that chair he sat on at the end. Everything so unique. Can't wait to see it come alive.
This is one of my favorite videos to watch! So inspiring!
If you are ever in Dallas, Thomas Heatherwick's art and models are on display at the Nasher Sculpture museum. It is really worth going.
Fully support this kaupapa, would highly rate living around there too!
Utopia era has begun.
Amazing analysis, ideas, human and nature orientated design ! Bravo BIG & Heatherwick studio. I love it !
Wow this would be amazing if you guys can do this all over the United States. I love nature.
Love it. Cool idea. I'll have to visit someday.
So different to an impenetrable spaceship on so many levels.
I really hope this gets built. It is inspiring. My only comment is that for Phase II, PLEASE add some housing! Tech companies need to get serious about driving San Mateo and Santa Clara counties to add housing density to match the increasing office space they are building. This neighborhood's zoning is about to be opened up and Google should be on top of that. Look at all the parking lots in those arial shots of North Bayshore. There is so much room for housing if we put that underground.
Amazing! Lets build cities like this, just imagine the savings on construction time and energy usage. Plus just pure happiness of the people that will work in this environment.
Really cool...who did the MUSIC? And WHO is playing violin on this?

Now I see that it makes sense to switch from Yahoo mail to Gmail :)
"Somebody who really thinks about function & form and you couple that with beauty and you just have this team that's pretty amazing stuff" - actually you still have the eternal conflict of form vs function, no shortcuts.
The proposed forms seem to fit with Google's stance of try everything, convoluted thinking that pervades their products these days.
P.S. I'm not anti-Google, just sick of airy concept videos. This feels less like a proposal and more like a retort to Cupertino.

WHAT IS THAT 1:29! HOW DO I MAKE ONE
Simply brilliant. Google has the right idea here, to bring back everything that we slowly push away such as wildlife and even social interaction. Good work!! It's a dream of mine to create for Google. To make a difference in the world through a company with the right mindset.
"Turn the dial up on nature" has to be one of the most unintentionally ironic linguistic juxtapositions I've heard in a while. "More nature: 1. More parking lots: 0."
OK, so Tim Fain co wrote and performed on the score...amazing.
Do I sense some sort of parallel with him and Will Bates working together on the music, and Heatherwick and Bjarke Ingels working together on the architecture??
What u willing give me for every thing.
Google
What he reply
Tent caterpillars. Out here in the desert we have water issues. Those greenhouse-like coverings is something we could use for our parks. But not webs. And definitely not so that birds could harm themselves flying into. They have to be sort of sealed to keep transpiration from escaping. Water quality is a problem for us in the deserts. Distilling (I believe) is something that should be employed and use that as a sort of recharge in parks, school yards, institutional landscaping, etc.. If sealed, rainwater harvesting could also occur. Wind steals a lot of moisture . . . from the plants and from the ground. Sunbelt states that insist on border walls and can't seem to keep their pants on ought to consider that there is much that needs to happen for survival through time. Time is a long time.
This is awesome!! Great minds, great people.
BACK TO NATURE.
ALL THE NEW DESIGNS ARE BASED ON THAT TAGLINE.
REALLY OUTSTANDING.
That's cool. Where are they going to hide the Terminator cyborgs?
At 2:47---Google is hiding something with those blobby brown trees on the left side of the screen
Yeah wtf I just noticed that it looks like a line of trees that weren't rendered correctly? I'm not sure if that entire view was a fake render and that part of the process someone missed/messed up or if they're trying to hide something
As Jayce from android authority says "Mother Google" you are the best, keep up and continue make ecological projects more and more popular ,)
Indeed, mind boggling ideas!!!! Really out of the BOX....
I hope this is something that isn't going to be completely forgotten.
Wow, this is really neat. I can't wait to check this out when they get it done!
Wow wonderful. But just wondering what if this parasols can spin when they aren't use for cover so in a way you can generate energy .
This video has some amazing background music. Can anyone tell the names of the tracks playing here?
Well, Apple's spaceship kinda looks old now
Really astonishing project
THIS is where I will work. I live near Mountain View, so that is where I will go.
interesting in a sense but the cocoon around the complex only serves to isolate google from the city and not the other way around. better to just build Google into a natural park so everyone can see it and appreciate the beauty of architecture merged landscape merged technology in symbiosis with earth.
and the other thing.... hire new architects.
Yeah, agreed. And it's sad how millions try to live with minimal money, and they just spend millions for these kind of stuff. If somebody have the power and money why not try to help those in need? Or invest money in something the whole world could profit on. (I basically like Google products, but this video is way off)
TheBlacktom I don't mind that they spent billions on it. that's what you're supposed to do with money. otherwise it sits in a bank account and helps nobody. make sure the architecture is consistent with message you want to convey. don't hide Google's presence. show how strong, beautiful, integrated, yet transparent google is. build the most pioneering and organic campus ever in stark contrast to apples mothership design. earth is the mothership.

Google has always been an inspiration to me. They have great ideas and goals.
How do you heat and cool a space like this? It seems like it would have poor insulation. The climate in Mountain View is probably relatively mild compared to a lot of other place, but still. Also, what happens to people with allergies if there are plants and trees inside of this space?
Beautiful concept! This is the future, this must be the future...
There's something that highly interests me.
How does the glass membrane dome effect acoustics?
i'm a big (huuh) fan of BIG but so far I have the feeling this is another architecture project that undermines the importance and effect of conscious sonic building (a lá the glass cafés that capture our attention by eye sight but are awful to converse in).
excited to see Thomas Heatherwick and Bjarke Ingels work together!!
I am really struggeling trough school right now, but this... This just lifts me up and gives me a goal, a goal that I can maybe one day I could work at google and make the world a better place the way they do!
This reminds me the one scene of the movie "The Mosquito Coast"(Harrison Ford starred),The frivolous civilization,Large-scale air condition everywhwere anytime in the nature...
I think that this was a fantastic video and would look toward to thus in the future.
Curious if anyone knows whether the glass membrane canopy is an existing technology or "new materials" yet to be commercialized? Thanks.
DON'T THINK I'D LIKE TO BE A WINDOW WASHER UP THERE
I do think this net idea is kinda weird, I do like the rest though
Do they also use microsoft note so they can work together over large distances?
Really enjoyed watching!
While I understand these designs are still in their infancy, I would appreciate more insight into the design process, and what problems the architectural decisions aim to solve. For example, why are there dome-shaped enclosures attached to groups of buildings? What will be involved in maintenance of that architecture? If parking lots will be turned into "greenhouses", then how are vehicles to navigate around the "empty fields or nature"? Moreover, how do these decisions aim to enhance work throughput, what's the time-frame for such a reconstruction, and what effects might that have on the employees currently working on the campus?
I always admired companies like Google, Microsoft etc. but more I work and more skilful I get as developer, less desire I have to work for such companies. Isn't it nicer to create your own startup and challenge some of these big guys, innovate or creating something on your own. I'm sure that working for Google is awesome but how unique do you feel as individual there ? I think the most fun part of any company (including what Google when they started) is the growth, innovation and devotion phase. I feel that there's almost no fun when you get so big.
I like that origami flasher at 1:29 :D
It's my dream to work at Google as a researcher & I think 🤔 you just motivating me to think in a critical way alike you thanks for that. how long probably it will take??
If you build yourself a greenhouse environment, make sure you have enough air circulation or its going to be extremely hot.
Wind and a tornado situation would compromise this type of roof. It would have to be structurally strong. I work in the greenhouse environment and the substrate only lasts for so many years it has to be replaced and can be very costly.
Basically, they're building a small neighbourhood instead of a giant building.
At least the employees, and the people working around might also go. I like the idea. But I'm biased. I hate cars and the suburbs and I love walking and the city.
like the idea it is the first inovations of ideas between modern man and nature to touch
our minds
I congratulate Google. The project is spectacular and looks like a city on another planet. If possible, in time, I would like to contribute ideas with sustainable solutions.
Google is the most inspiring company out there just seeing what they are doing is amazing and I would one day like to be part of it .what google is doing is quite amazing ,bringing nature and everything into it makes it quite unique and I like what they are doing
Thank you for exploring yet another pathway into the future.
Can't believe Mountain View turned this down for a bunch of LinkedIn office buildings.
Thanks so much for trying to do something amazing and transformative for the Mountain View community.
Ola que bien luses
I have always wanted to work for Google. It was my dream but I realized that I am more qualified to help kids with the help of Google. It is nice to see a company that understands people.
If there isn't a residential component to this it will be worse than Santana Row. Also, free advice, when I look out the window of my gym in downtown SF (an actual city) it always amazes me how many contractor's trucks are parked outside. If this is to be a living structure don't forget the contractors.
cool. i would love to work there and watch this grow
And how out is it going to be inside your green house? I'm not working on the top floor for sure!
I'm with Occam. Razors are a good thing :)
I'm so pumped for this idea! I hate parking lots and how nature has been defiled!
Wow! What a gigantic buiding-plan!☺
Awesome!
Google: good at saying a whole lot without saying anything much at all
extraordinary project
Now that's a Google worthy idea, excellent video as well!
