Meet Apple's super new 'spaceship' campus - PHOTOS

20 November 2013 [13:45] - TODAY.AZ
At this point, there's a good chance you've seen pictures of Apple's proposed new headquarters — a 2.8-million-square-foot spaceship parked in a verdant man-made forest in the northeast corner of Cupertino.

Since the first dozen or so renderings trickled out in 2011, however, we haven't gotten a much better sense of what all the new campus will entail or what it will be like to work there.

Until now. Apple may be known for its secrecy, but buried in Cupertino's municipal archive is a wealth of detail on the project — including more than 20 previously unseen renderings of the new campus.

In these images, we see for the first time the space port-like entrance to the development's subterranean parking lot, a cavernous cafeteria that spills into the grassy landscape beyond, and the glass pavilion that will serve as the entrance to Apple's new underground auditorium — a secure lair where press will gather for future product launches.

Jobs' pitch for a new Apple campus

In short, these documents give us the most complete picture of Apple's new home yet, a campus that Steve Jobs himself thought had a shot at being "the best office building in the world."
