Amazon's new headquarters building plan comes out, which is eye-catching! Netizen: Isn't this a bamboo shoot?

Three years ago, Amazon's $25.3 billion headquarters in Seattle attracted countless people.

inside these big balls, there are dazzling gardens and layered plants.

After all, * * * covers more than 4, species of plants that are very precious, collected from more than 5 countries.

such an extraordinary office environment has made netizens exclaim: I want to jump ship after reading it!

Not long ago, this technology giant was going to build its second headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, and this jungle design concept was brought to the extreme.

This DNA-shaped building is called The Helix, which was designed by NBBJ, a famous American architectural firm. The huge glass erected in the external structure makes it look like a spiral glass tower from the outside.

The Helix was transformed from a group of vacant warehouses near the Pentagon in Arlington, with a height of about 17 meters and a total area of about 34, square meters.

when taking over this project, NBBJ accepted the design concept of "giving priority to healthy working environment". The spiral tower coiled up is inspired by the double helix structure of DNA, which also unifies the different elements outside the building.

a large area of greening around the building covers the spiral texture of two pedestrian walkways around the building. These trees and plants from Virginia extend all the way from the bottom to the roof, which also makes the new headquarters look like a green hill.

No matter employees or visitors who work here, they can come here in their spare time to climb the stairs in under the greenwood tree and reach the top of the mountain to relax. Of course, there are also various leisure areas along the way.

The new headquarters also includes three 22-story office buildings next to it, with a total office space of 26, square meters and a total capacity of 13, employees.

In order to integrate with the local community, Amazon's PenPlace project will also build a community center, a nursery, a 25-seat amphitheater, art installations, a pet park, and other green public spaces open to the public.

in addition to paving sidewalks and bicycle paths, more than 9 bicycles will be provided in the park.

these facilities are also open to the public free of charge, but the spiral glass tower is only open to the public at certain times.

Similar to the headquarters in Seattle, there are all kinds of rare plants in it.

In addition, the entire headquarters building uses renewable energy to generate electricity, which will be provided by a solar farm about 32 kilometers south of Virigina. There are also rainwater recovery systems and natural ventilation systems, as well as transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, which also reduce the need for artificial lighting and realize Amazon's climate commitment of "achieving zero carbon net emissions in 24".

The new headquarters is expected to start construction in 222 and be completed in 225, with a total cost of about 2.5 billion US dollars. It is said that in the next decade, Amazon will have nearly 79, square meters of office space on this land.

once the design scheme of Amazon's new headquarters building was announced, it triggered a heated discussion, and many netizens vomited, which was obviously "grabbing bamboo shoots!"

don't tell me, it's really amazing!

Some people think that this building is very similar to the headquarters of Tastee-Freez Ice Cream Company. .

Disney lovers think that the invincible king of destruction has returned to the Jianghu!

Many people agree that it looks like a famous emoji, but at least the color scheme of this building looks healthier.

Some netizens posted a comparison of the spherical headquarters previously built in Seattle.

Then a joke was made: giant bamboo shoots poked their heads out of their balls and rose from the ground!

But jokes aside, we can still capture the secret of the "spiral structure" of Amazon's new headquarters through this scheme, which emphasizes the interaction between people and buildings and the harmony between ecology and buildings.

it's not hard to find that Amazon is seeking to realize similar connection with nature for its employees and people who come here through TheHelix.
