Social empire here to create a Facebook new headquarters the big Jiedi - Sohu IT
full text summarized as follows:
in 2004, Harvard University sophomore Mark? Zuckerberg (Mark Zuckerberg) founder of Facebook. His office space, including a computer, a desk and he loved the whiteboard, and all these things all the squeeze at the University Kirkland apartment the H33 suites his less tidy place to live. Zuckerberg's partner, Chris? Hughes (Chris Hughes), Eduardo? Sa Weilin (Eduardo Saverin) and Dustin Moskowitz (Dustin Moskovitz) are Zuckerberg, Harvard University the students because they are more recent.
to 2012, Facebook in the world with 3500 employees, over 901 million users. This was originally Zuckerberg Hu fight chaos pooled to help students keep in touch with the website has changed the way human beings communicate with each other, this change continues.
However, Facebook some basic things remain unchanged. Recently, I visited the new headquarters of Facebook in Menlo Park, California, USA, found that many aspects of the headquarters of the environment of H33 apartment amplified re-creation version. Employees to squeeze in a compact desk, next to the filled coffee cup and the other filled with creative paper shredded. Whiteboards everywhere. Blackboard, art, and directly on the wall of the slogan. Outside the office of the public space is not identical to the Harvard campus, but the crowd here is older than Harvard students.
In addition to the large-scale (the new headquarters occupies 57 acres) and the company decided to continue to expand the headquarters area, but the change of location and large office did not change the basic personality of the Facebook office locations. A display 2005, Facebook staff crowded into the small office of the Palo Alto urban photo is very similar in the sense that I now see the new headquarters.
Gleiter described Facebook: ambition has not changed. Gretel saying, iconic U.S. companies are hoping their names branded on the skyscrapers: the Woolworth Building, Chrysler Building, the Sears Tower. Today's technology companies are eager to campus-like office space: a group of little buildings, plus outdoor common areas and university atmosphere. This is Apple, Google and Microsoft's headquarters gives the impression that Apple is building a spaceship-shaped headquarters are out of this concept.
Sun Microsystems of thethe last century, the 1990s, the most successful technology companies, one of the office space. Including this area at 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park. In the Web 1.0 era, Sun's hardware and software has been booming, but the burst of the Internet bubble in 2000, the company suffered a severe blow, since never recovered. 2010 Sun acquired by Oracle after the Menlo Park office location was abandoned.
2011, Facebook announced that it will vacate the office of Palo Alto, California Avenue, moved to Sun's former office location. California Street office has Hewlett-Packard, which is the seat of a huge building, do not have much outdoor space. Later from Harvard, Facebook headquarters campus-like feeling.
recycling fall of giant real estate projects has been a Silicon Valley tradition. Google headquarters GooglePlex was formerly the seat of the once mighty Silicon Graphics, Inc.. Zhayi seeing to Sun's business and Facebook has nothing, but there is actually some similarities.
in the Sun's heyday, the network is still very young, the company's server is this new media operation, the key components. Sun's slogan
in their own way, Facebook is also under construction of infrastructure. It is the most common single Internet exchange platform: over 9 million Web sites and applications into the Facebook A sign on the wall seems to be a mockery of the Sun's:
all the companies of the Silicon Valley office space similar to the Sun left the venue from the architectural point of view of ordinary. This is not a problem. This is consistent with the company's attitude, the work is not completed, so do not be pretentious.
than Sun's buildings clean, Facebook disassembly transformation. Helping to create new office space in exchange designer Fu Leite? 卡迪格巴克 (Everett, Katigbak), said the new environment to have the feel of the factory laboratory.
Facebook removed most of the ceiling, exposing the HVAC system, a lot of carpet removed, exposing the concrete below. It also knocked the Sun's office, a large space, so that employees can sit together. The aesthetic taste of this raw from the Facebook real first headquarters, located in Palo Alto that opened in 2005.
Facebook office space people reminiscent of the Facebook site, nothing fancy. The site intends to mess a practical place, Zuckerberg called the The site is interesting because there are many users in the above. Facebook's headquarters is also about people: how they interact with others, how to interact with the surrounding environment.卡迪格巴克 said, each person's office location are the same, but they can transform itself.
meeting place everywhere, the traditional meeting rooms, and comfortable chairs and sofas. A well stocked mini bar, looks like is from the 1960s bachelor apartment. Headquartered in where this is Facebook's fixed part of. Facebook Headquarters regional furniture eclectic, and often change position in order to maintain freshness. Most of them have college dorm feel. Facebook blue, occupy the site's main colors in the actual site are avoided. The walls there are many things or write or draw.
It's easy to call it graffiti, but this is incorrect. According to Webster's explanation, the graffiti is Facebook headquarters, put it on the wall is to be authorized, but encouraged to do so. This tradition can be traced back to the whiteboard of the Zuckerberg student dormitory inside the graffiti wall is also a Facebook site itself important functions. It is a social behavior, is not antisocial.
Facebook wall a number of works of art is obviously a temporary improvisation, with chalk on the blackboard and whiteboard. The scope of the . Female hackers during the event, the headquarters of a stairwell decoration, including Oprah, Judy judges, the great female computer scientists, the first female U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Grace? Hope, as well as Disney Mulan image.
In some cases, Facebook, community through a massive transformation. On the roof of a building, a 42 ft QR code, you can see in space. One side of a building have a giant sign that says
write hackers buildings facing the hacker Square, Facebook headquarters of the most important public areas. Spread out the word Facebook before Hewlett-Packard that building office hacker marathon to keep the spirit of the hacker, and now again this event is passed to a new headquarters in Menlo Park.
Facebook this headquarters and hacking action reflects a desire: to become a brave programmers have the final say, they make the world better by writing code, not rigidly adhere to now Some think outside the box. Large and small Internet companies in the world have the hacker culture, but Facebook will its obsession completely manifested.
these hackers head Zuckerberg sat hang in hacker company building. He did not fancy executive positions. In the technology world, this is nothing strange, many executives in the large office, display, and employees are united, but also the walls and doors are the factors that impede cooperation.
and other people in the Facebook, Zuckerberg nor his office. He and the company's chief operating officer, Shirley? Sundberg (Sheryl Sandberg) next to the table in public areas and other employees are very close. He does have a conference room, but that the hacker on the square, everyone passing by could see him and who meet.
Facebook may not have to provide staff with a comfortable office, but that does not mean it want anyone to feel uncomfortable. In contrast, how any other competitive companies in Silicon Valley, it hopes that the employees feel very comfortable at work, so that employees will not be distracted, or ran home as early as possible.
and many of its competitors, Facebook offers dry cleaning services, free food and beverages and other benefits. Even if the router and laptop battery usually supplies, employees can be easily obtained from the spread in the headquarters of the vending machine. In addition, it provides a free bicycle.
these amenities are Facebook competition for computer professionals. The somewhat remote location of the headquarters of these facilities is very important.
Facebook is still a small start-up company, it is only one office, slowly developed into several offices in Palo Alto city center. Adjacent to other technology companies, restaurants and other shops everywhere. In contrast, 1601 Willow Road, this place is close to a toll bridge go Fremont, large tracts of wetlands, as well as the meager several companies, including a mini-storage company, Jack in the Box fast food chain. Therefore, Facebook what had.
it is to do so.卡迪格巴克 said the company is not to create the urban environment. This will be very tacky. However, it was built more, across headquarters, more like a community. Headquarters essential cafeteria. There are many dining options, including the pizza chain, Tony. Doctors and dentists, and incidental personal training gym, as well as bicycle shops and garage.
all of these facilities will not only allow employees to rest, and the staff have been able to communicate with each other. Facebook also dug up some Sun external walls of the building, put on the door of the garage-style, and has maintained a normally open, to allow a co-operative staff office locations from indoor to outdoor.
Facebook also plans to BayShore highway on the other side of the five new buildings, and underground tunnels to link them with the existing office space. The project is expected to be completed late in 2014. The project requires not only the environmental assessment, the need to negotiate with Menlo Park and the adjacent Atherton, which is one of the nation's most affluent cities.
office space expansion can accommodate the number of employees increased to 9400. If Facebook is a city, then it will Bia Se Dayton, the population will account for one-third of Menlo Park.
While Facebook is faced with many challenges, but with the expanding office locations, but more important to keep the hacker spirit. The new office building will be Facebook own design and construction. Conceivable that the ceiling is not the ceiling, the floor is not paving anything. Wait until the Lord of the paint on the walls, the company will encourage employees to write or draw. (Ke Hill)
