about Google's new NYC offices reminded of a new article in the current issue of Fast Company about Clive Wilkinson, the designer of the interiors at the Googleplex.

"Completed just last year, Wilkinson's new offices for Google's Mountain View, California, headquarters are a paean to boundless ambition and nonconformity. At the core of the Googleplex, as it's called, is a miniature city of tented glass rooms, padded pavilions, and Astroturf lawns, all anchored by a monumental stair that's embedded with laptop ports, to encourage stoop- sitting during the workday."
