There's finally an explanation for the giant dirt pyramid on Apple's new campus

DIRTPYRAMIDYoutube/Duncan SinfieldAs Apple's $5 billion "spaceship" campus in Cupertino, California, has started to take shape, an enormous pyramid of dirt has risen beside it.

Now we know why: None of the dirt excavated to situate Apple's new offices will be removed from the 175-acre campus.

Instead, all of the earth Apple dug up will become part of the building's landscaping, which will eventually resemble a natural forest.

"Hard to know which is more beautiful, the building or that pile of dirt," CEO Tim Cook told Vogue.

Apple's 12,000-person campus is expected to be completed this year. Major landscaping — building the dirt pyramid — was completed in 2014. Employees are expected to move in to their new offices in early 2017.

The process of building the campus started in 2009, and former CEO Steve Jobs said that Apple had "a shot at building the best office building in the world." Apple partnered with architect Norman Foster to design the building, which heavily features curved glass in the design — over 4 miles, according to Foster.

But as important as the building was to Jobs, so was the campus' larger landscape. When finished, it will be covered with natural and native grasses and trees.

Here's another look at the giant dirt pile:

Here's what Apple's campus will look like when it's finished, according to design renders:

Apple's New Fifth Avenue Store Cube Fully Revealed

By Eric Slivka



While Apple's Fifth Avenue retail store in Manhattan is not set to reopen until 10:00 AM this morning, crews have completed their work on the revamped glass cube, fully revealing the streamlined design for the first time. 



MacRumors reader Vincent sent along these photos of the new cube, which utilizes only 15 panes of glass rather than the 90 used in the original cube. The new cube is also "seamless", doing away with nearly all of the hardware that previously held the panes of glass together. 

In addition to the new cube, Apple has also upgraded the plaza, refreshing or installing new water drains and pavers while removing the small bollards that had previously surrounded the cube. 

Update: YouTube user patjem2 has posted a brief video showing the new cube and a growing crowd of customers just prior to the store's reopening. 

second video also shows the first customers entering the newly-reopened store through the updated glass cube.

    Looks like they also ditched the depression from when, I think, this was a third fountain.

    So in other Apple Cube + GM Plaza news:

    Apple briefly put up an ad on Monday for their upcoming iPhone product. 

    The ad was posted on the Southern face of the cube and was inexplicably taken down within a few hours.

    Is it possible the ad violated City codes or something? I know the City had been cracking down on illegal advertising. Anyone know if ads in a privately owned public space are illegal?

    According to French financial daily La Tribune, Apple has received approval to build one of its eponymous stores in Paris. The location? Where else but under the glass pyramid in the Carrousel du Louvre.

    Glass Pyramid at the Louvre entrance

    It would mark the second piece of geometric glass architecture used by the Cupertino company, the first being the cube at the Apple's Fifth Avenue store in Manhattan, New York that first opened in May 2006.

    The plans encompass a 715 square foot area under the pyramid formerly inhabited by two shops known as Résonances and Lalique.

    Apple's famous Glass Cube
    The now-iconic Apple Store on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, the scene of many a line-forming ceremony in recent days.

    Completed in 1989 by modernist architect I.M. Pei, the glass and steel structure and is considered by many to be one of the great landmarks of Paris along with the Eiffel Tower. From the book "Conversations with I.M. Pei," the architect had this to say about his design, "'The glass pyramid is a symbol that defines the entry to the Louvre. it is placed precisely at the center of gravity of the three pavilions [and] assumes the function of a symbolic entry to a huge complex of meandering interconnected buildings which had no center."

    Approval is only the first step and does not guarantee that an Apple Store will actually materialize under Pei's structure, but it makes one wonder about future Apple stores showing up in places like the Glass Cylinder memorial in Madridthe Globus II shopping center in Kiev, or perhaps even in Germany's Reichstag.

    applelogoOver more then a year ago rumors started to spread, but now it’s officially confirmed: Paris will get an Apple Store. CFO Peter Oppenheimer announced it this week during the presentation of the Third Quarter Results. The shop will be opened long before the feastdays of 2009. All together Apple will open 25 new Apple Stores in the current fiscal year.

    The location of the Apple Store is not yet known, but some people say the shop will be built in the chic underground shopping center, where the Pyramid of the Louvre gives access to it. At the same time Apple also works on a second shop in Paris, at Rue Halévy.

    With that 23 Apple Stores remain for this year. Which country will get an Apple Store as well?

    Apple's giant dirt pyramid to nurture its own majestic forest

    New Cupertino campus will soon be home to more than 7,000 trees.

    Apple CEO Tim Cook
    'Hard to know which is more beautiful, the building or that pile of dirt,' Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a recent interview. (Photo: Duncan Sinfield/YouTube/Screenshot)
     

    If you're someone who has been following the construction progress on Apple's new $5 billion "spaceship" campus in Cupertino, California, you've likely spied the towering pyramid of earth looming directly behind the massive circular structure.

    Unlike other construction projects that might haul this clean fill away, Apple has big plans for the valuable soil. According to CEO Tim Cook, the massive pyramid will slowly be distributed around the 175-acre campus to help nourish a forest of more than 7,000 trees.

     

    "Hard to know which is more beautiful, the building or that pile of dirt," Cook recently told Vogue during a tour of the site. 

    When the late Steve Jobs first commissioned the design for the campus in 2009, he was adamant about making green space a priority. To that end, roughly 80 percent of the campus will feature open, natural spaces. Before demolishing the old Hewlett-Packard site, Apple also dug up and preserved more than 1,000 mature trees for re-planting.

    "It's pretty ambitious," Dave Muffly, a full-time arborist hired by Apple to head its tree landscaping, told the LA Times. "Some of these development projects, they don't see the value of transplanting these larger trees. They only see the dollars and say, 'Oh my goodness, it’s so expensive.' But some people recognize that if you bring in old trees, that as soon as my project opens, I'm going to have a landscape that is already pretty established."

    Trees slated for the new campus include oak trees, plums, cherries, persimmons, and yes, apples. At last count, 243 apple trees will be featured inside the courtyard of the new Apple HQ. Golden Delicious, Jonagold, Pink Lady, Sierra Beauty and seven other varieties will be available to the more 14,000 employees expected to work there.

    In addition to the natural beauty of the campus, Apple is also working to make the campus one of the most sustainable in the world. About 90 percent of the materials from the demolished Hewlett-Packard buildings will be used in its construction, including the recycling of old cement. Instead of being mulched or tossed, trees not slated to be re-planted were sent to a lumber mill. Energy to power the site, including the 770,000-square foot circular building, will come from on-site, 100-percent renewable sources.

    “We have a shot,” Steve Jobs said in 2011, “at building the best office building in the world."

    Apple's new campus is expected to open early next year.
