With the design of the Apple Campus 2, we can say that Silicon Valley is undertaking the realization of an architectural identity. This studio’s work is specific to United States at a time when changes in energy costs have instigated an inevitable rise in housing density and its proximity to mass transportation, creating a critical moment to explore the potentials of smart boulevards but also new opportunities for the future density.
The growing density is an inevitable issue. Looking into this emptiness, one can always read more and sense more. So the opportunity may just lie in the perceptual density instead of the statistic density. How to introduce the sky into view and how to achieve more perceptual openness is the main task.
