Here is a picture I took today of Amazon’s biospheres in downtown Seattle. Nobody seems quite sure what to make of these unusual structures .. are they ridiculous or something special and futuristic? ‘The goal of the new spherical space is to create an environment where employees can work and socialize in a more natural, park-like setting’ according to the design document for the spheres .. and ‘The generative idea is that a plant-rich environment has many positive qualities that are not often found in a typical office setting’. Well, one thing is for sure : this is not a typical office setting !
