Campus Google

Google just announced details about a beautiful new campus it's planning to develop in Mountain View, California. 

The company is submitting plans to develop four sites in Mountain View's North Bayshore.

This campus is designed by Bjarke Ingels at BIG and Thomas Heatherwick at Heatherwick Studio, and it will be the first time Google has built offices from scratch, instead of taking over previously existing buildings. 

Google's futuristic buildings will have translucent canopies, instead of traditional walls or roofs, and their interiors will have light-weight, movable components, so the layout can be changed at will. Parking will be underground.

"Instead of constructing immoveable concrete buildings, we’ll create lightweight block-like structures which can be moved around easily as we invest in new product areas," Google writes.



"Large translucent canopies will cover each site, controlling the climate inside yet letting in light and air."



Here's a bird's eye view of the new buildings.
