There are no private offices.<br />
Working areas for <strong>the</strong> brand<br />
teams are compact, open-plan,<br />
and have a technological edge.<br />
People work as close toge<strong>the</strong>r as<br />
<strong>the</strong> cockpit teams of a space station.<br />
Management is very<br />
public; directors all share<br />
<strong>the</strong> same giant table<br />
that runs most of <strong>the</strong> width<br />
of <strong>the</strong> building. The<br />
result is a democracy of<br />
communication.<br />
Since <strong>the</strong> best ideas<br />
often need private moments of<br />
thoughtful calm, <strong>the</strong>re is a<br />
think space, a slot between <strong>the</strong><br />
ribbon and <strong>the</strong> ceiling with<br />
enough space to lie down, think,<br />
perchance to dream . . .<br />
To balance <strong>the</strong> intensity and<br />
focus of working zones,<br />
wide open spaces and libraries<br />
exist on each floor, where<br />
people can relax, chat, browse<br />
magazines, do research,<br />
watch commercials or videos.
