Facebook moved into their new headquarters recently, a lovely-looking office in Stanford designed by Studio A + O Studio O+A. The design process sounds appropriately thoughtful (and expensive): lots of consultation with employees to find out what exactly they needed.
One of the key design concepts was retaining the organic growth of Facebook's offices. Previously, they occupied distant offices, and so each department developed different styles and cultures. The new offices retain this parochial nature, delineating offices almost like neighborhoods. But most intriguing is where they placed executives: out in the middle of the office, where anyone can get to them. Sounds dangerous!
