Frank Gehry Designs New Facebook Campus in Menlo Park

September 06, 2012 Filed under: The Buzz

Zuckerberg and Gehry - two ground breaking innovators come together to break ground for a new addition to the Facebook campus.  Mark Zuckerberg didn't form a company that spawned a revolution by being ordinary and Frank Gehry didn't revolutionize architectural design by following the status quo.  So it is no surprise that these two have come together to create what is sure to be "liked" by both architect and tech aficionados for decades to come.

"In the midst of Facebook's plans to expand their corporate head office in Palo Alto, California, the social networking company has commissioned architect Frank Gehry to design an entirely new west campus in Menlo Park on a 22 acre site. Based on a community-like environment that will host a park atmosphere, where a grass roof with a variety of native trees will become accessible by foot,the new development will connect to the current east headquarters via a tunnel, where the path will create a transit route for cyclists and pedestrians walking beneath the bay-front expressway."
