????谷歌正在規(guī)劃設(shè)計(jì)一個(gè)充滿未來(lái)感的園區(qū),，該公司希望它能夠彰顯其銳意創(chuàng)新的形象,。

????根據(jù)設(shè)計(jì)公司提交給這家總部位于加州山景城的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)巨頭的效果圖，這棟辦公大樓被包裹在外形宛如波浪形溫室的玻璃帳篷之中,。辦公室的墻體可以基于該公司的需要,，像家具那樣任意調(diào)整搬動(dòng)。

????上周五,，谷歌公司房地產(chǎn)事務(wù)副總裁戴維?拉德克里夫在一篇博文中寫(xiě)道：“我們不是要建造無(wú)法移動(dòng)的混凝土建筑,，而是要打造輕量化的塊狀建筑，當(dāng)我們投資新產(chǎn)品領(lǐng)域時(shí),，它們能方便地搬來(lái)搬去,。龐大的透明天棚將籠罩每個(gè)區(qū)域，它們既能控制室內(nèi)氣候,，又能保證光線和通風(fēng),。”

????隨著谷歌繼續(xù)高歌猛進(jìn),，這家科技巨頭需要打造一個(gè)更富魅力的總部,，而這個(gè)充滿科幻感的園區(qū)正是谷歌為獲得一些額外辦公空間所做的努力,。目前在山景城工作的近1.5萬(wàn)名谷歌員工被分散在數(shù)座低矮的辦公樓里，這些樓大同小異,，缺乏辨識(shí)度,。

????但這項(xiàng)計(jì)劃很可能會(huì)遭到當(dāng)?shù)鼐用竦姆磳?duì)。嚴(yán)重的交通堵塞已經(jīng)讓他們苦惱不堪,，他們還擔(dān)心附近的舊金山灣濕地受到破壞,。山景城市議會(huì)將不得不權(quán)衡這些疑慮與工作崗位流失到臨近城市的可能性。

????在一段制作精美的視頻中,，谷歌將新辦公區(qū)描繪為減少交通擁堵、遏制城區(qū)擴(kuò)張的可行之道,。該公司稱,，全新辦公區(qū)將空出目前的停車(chē)場(chǎng)，把更多空間還給大自然,。

????Google is planning a futuristic campus that it hopes will live up to its innovative image.

????Renderings, submitted to the Internet giant’s hometown of Mountain View, Calif., show office buildings enclosed in tents of glass that look like undulating greenhouses. Office walls are designed to be adjustable so that they can be moved like furniture depending on the company’s needs.

????“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,” David Radcliffe, Google’s vice president of real estate, said in a blog post Friday. “Large translucent canopies will cover each site, controlling the climate inside yet letting in light and air.”

????The sci-fi campus is Google’s effort to get some elbow room as it continues to rapidly expand while creating more pizazz for its headquarters. The company has nearly 15,000 workers in Mountain View spread across a hodgepodge of dozens of low slung corporate buildings that are if anything, undistinguished.

????But the plans are apt to generate opposition from locals who are already grappling with traffic gridlock and fear environmental damage to nearby San Francisco Bay wetlands. Mountain View’s City Council will have to weigh the concerns against the possibility of losing jobs to neighboring cities.

????In a slick presentation of images and a video, Google GOOG 2.32% cast the new offices as a way to reduce street congestion and suburban sprawl. The company said that the remade campus would free up room for more nature by freeing up space currently used for parking lots.

????谷歌沒(méi)有明說(shuō)的一點(diǎn)是,，在硅谷各家巨頭紛紛打造酷炫建筑，并由此獲得延攬英才優(yōu)勢(shì)的競(jìng)賽中,，谷歌已經(jīng)處于落后地位,。比如，蘋(píng)果公司正在附近建造一個(gè)被戲稱為“太空飛船”的環(huán)形總部,。

????谷歌的新辦公區(qū)由建筑設(shè)計(jì)公司BIG和Heatherwick Studio聯(lián)手設(shè)計(jì),，它們希望通過(guò)打造類似室內(nèi)花園這樣的空間，來(lái)促進(jìn)室內(nèi)和室外充分溝通,。當(dāng)然,，這個(gè)空間應(yīng)該具備辦公功能，其設(shè)計(jì)初衷就是讓技術(shù)人員勤奮工作,，不斷完善谷歌的搜索引擎,，想出讓人們點(diǎn)擊更多廣告的辦法，以及類似自動(dòng)駕駛汽車(chē)這樣的古怪產(chǎn)品,。

????不過(guò),，這個(gè)示意圖尚處初級(jí)階段，并不包括任何建筑設(shè)計(jì)這類實(shí)際細(xì)節(jié),。目前階段,，谷歌還沒(méi)有基于這個(gè)設(shè)計(jì)圖大興土木（哦，不,，應(yīng)該是玻璃）,，這項(xiàng)設(shè)計(jì)還會(huì)進(jìn)一步修改,，并需要獲得市政當(dāng)局的批準(zhǔn)。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

????Left unsaid is the reality that Google is falling behind in the race among Silicon Valley giants for cool corporate architecture and the recruiting advantage it creates. Apple, for example, is building a doughnut-shaped headquarters nearby that’s commonly referred to as the “spaceship.”

????Google’s offices, designed by the architectural firms BIG and Heatherwick Studio, are supposed to bridge indoors and outdoors by creating spaces that are like indoor gardens. Of course, there will be offices too, where presumably, techies will be hard at work on their computers tweaking the company’s search engine, coming up with ways to make people click on more ads and coming up with oddball projects like self-driving cars.

????However, the renderings are preliminary and do not include any actual specifics like architectural designs. At this point, they designs are hardly cast in stone – or glass, in this case – and subject to change and approval by the city government.
