Wojcicki said the new campus — three adjacent buildings including Frank Gehry-designed Binoculars Building — would also help Google attract candidates from area colleges and universities... The company's focus on Web search is evoked by the iconic binocular sculpture at the site, created by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen. — latimes.com

this is kind of brings up this question for me; for all that 'technology' talk, no new building type or program required no matter what the client does with administrative or creative production, google etc.. what does that tell you about integrating architecture to the times of technology? or, is it the old chair-desk-task-cubicle no matter what the technology means?
by the way, i don't mean anything other than architecture-use-function-program at this point.
it also brings to mind what i think one of the best lectures of recent years by Benjamin H. Bratton, "The Program is Not On The Floor." or at least partially.
I have always loved this FOG project! I thought the Chiat/Day Company HQ was here?
