Let us have it at the back of our mind that this has nothing to do with space travel and the cosmos or any inter-galactic operation. This is Synchronising technology with architecture, another one of the many magic of the 21st century. An established fact is: “Technology is part of our way of life now, just like politics, struggle for survival, education and cryptocurrencies etc.

That been clarified, our focus is on a project called: “Spaceship” Complex, campus, HQ which ever name you want to call it. This is one of Steve Job’s last project before he passed away in the year 2011...”Bless is Soul”. It is Apple’s new Headquarters amazingly designed spaceship campus. Many scholars has branded it as one of the most innovative project in the World.
A Workplace like Disney land, but in this case called the ‘Apple Park’ alternatively, built on a 2.8 Million square feet and with the capacity to accommodate 12,000 to 14,000 employees at a glance. This architectural beauty is powered solely by renewable energy, mostly from the solar arrays on the roof of the magnificent structure.
.....a centre of innovation for generations to come.....CBS news
Proposed to the Cupertino City council in early 2011, and was slated to be operational by 2015. But due to longer time it took for the approval to be granted by the city, the operations kicked of in 2017 April, while the finishing touches is still in progress, the employees are resuming at the Apple Park in batches. Tim Cook said:
.....”Steve’s vision for Apple was a vision within a dream! According to Steve "The work space and park-lands are designed to kill two birds with one stone; "to inspire our team as well as benefit the environment"’. This was accomplished by establishing one of the most energy-efficient buildings in the world and one that will run entirely on renewable energy”.
