Only Apple could think of this creative solution that is only four stories tall.  They are out of space to house staff currently located on their campus and many rental properties throughout Cupertino.  This new plan presented by Steve Jobs himself (watch the video) would solve the current dilemma of housing 12,000 employees in 1 building in Cupertino.

Architectural Record Magazine is running a cocktail napkin sketch contest.

There have to be architects in addition to Vic who love doing this!

Details are here.  Also take a look at some of the past winners (and runner ups, honorable mention, etc.).  Very impressive.

The Schuylerville CSD project was recently published in Learning By Design as Outstanding Project 2011.  You can read the project and award info here.  Congrats to all involved!
