That is Apple's corporate headquarters in Silicon Valley.

Whatever architect conceived this monstrosity gets the wall

    Supposedly it was designed in a way to take advantage of aircurrents and reduce the need for air-conditioning. Which would be pretty cool if true, but I'm guessing it's mostly BS.

      It's entirely full of glass walls and doors, too. Workers there, of course, started using these as impromptu whiteboards until management came down with a no sticky notes mandate. Apparently this injured so many people from walking into walls there is a "mandatory sticky note rule" ongoing in the building.

        Sticky notes are unnecessary. Just write on the glass directly with a sharpie; it erases easily with solvents. Old lab trick.

          They were doing that too. Thought I might have implied that with calling them impromptu whiteboards. Sticky notes are better for people with poorer vision though, from personal experience. I imagine that's why it's called a sticky note rule.

        Lol who in their right mind runs a company full of software engineers and expects them not to use the glass walls as impromptu whiteboards?
