Apple Park：重归大地的母舰

一直以来，苹果宇宙飞碟似的新大楼，都被视为一座直指未来的纪念碑。临近竣工，这些天 Wired 刊出了 Steven Levy 亲探 Apple Park 建筑内部以及与一众直接关系人交谈而来的见闻。

Apple’s New Campus: An Exclusive Look Inside the Mothership

全文充斥着 Apple Park 令人咋舌的设计细节，而亲历者们津津乐道的内容，更让 Apple Park 犹如乔布斯意志的延续，一种纪念碑式载入历史唤起人们灵魂共鸣的延续。

其中彻底将我震溃的有如下这段

When I later discuss the office climate with Apple’s environment czar, Lisa Jackson, she professes understanding—to a point. “It’s not like we’re asking people to be uncomfortable at work,” she says. “We’re asking them to recognize that part of being connected to the outside is knowing what temperature it is. We don’t want you to feel like you’re in a casino. We want you to know what time of day it is, what temperature it is outside. Is the wind really blowing? That was Steve’s original intention, to sort of blur that line between the inside and outside. It sort of wakes up your senses.”

短短数十年，当我们自脚踏实地升到半空中。资本家们为了强调那种沐浴自然之光的生活，甚至略显滑稽地将一扇扇悬在半空的窗户称为「落地窗」。可见的未来，似乎生活的每一方面都将被各种科技照顾得妥妥帖帖。

但 Apple Park 想说，举科技之力是为了重归大地。那将唤醒你的感官，身为人类创造万物的感官。
