(follow-up to last Friday's post)
Steve Jobs' last public appearance in 2011 was in front of the city council of Cupertino, CA. He wanted to inspire them with his vision of a new headquarters.
It would look like a space ship that had landed, he said. It was the shape of a circle, he said. Apple could make the big pieces of industrial glass for its completely curved sides (because of their experience building the Apple Stores). Instead of the new site's landscape to hardscape ratio of 20%/80%, when finished the new campus would be 80% natural landscape and 20% hardscape.
He made the sale.
For a description of the new headquarters, go here and here.
