It has changed the way we interact. Added an entire new dimension to our lives. Caused much frustration ( Farmville updates by friends) , allowed us to connect with friends in such a convenient way, made us incredibly lazy (can't write a long email anymore !!) and brought sharing into a new dimension.
So, have you ever wondered where all the people behind facebook work ?? Should be a fun office, right ? I dug around a bit and here's what I found. Needless to say, it is everything that facebook itself is :)
This was earlier a lab facility for high-tech measuring instruments !!! It is now a lab of a different kind !!! Located in Palo Alto, California. Designed by Studio O+AApparently, given the non-hierarchal structure of the organisation,during the design process inputs were taken from facebook employees, discussions held on FB and , all that info was collated and put to good use !!
FB earlier had separate divisions in various locations. These nuclear offices maintained their individual space within the new building and connected to each other using the interactive spaces !!
The senior execs are all in the centre---accessible to the netwrok around them and connected to the social, dining and discussion areas.
Much of the old structure was retained in its original form, many of the walls left bare and unfinished, the industrial look maintained and spaces created that allowed for change and redefinition.
And if you need to get from one place to another you can roller blade there !! Serious !!
They have differentiated various work/interactive areas using colours and kept the rest in a fairly industrial/unfinished form.
