Le siège social d'Apple, appelé Apple Park, ressemble à un gigantesque vaisseau spatial futuriste atterri à Cupertino, en Californie. C'est un immense bâtiment circulaire, de 485 mètres de large, avec des murs entièrement en verre permettant aux employés de se sentir proches de la nature. Le campus est alimenté par des énergies renouvelables, avec des panneaux solaires couvrant le toit, et il est conçu pour être extrêmement respectueux de l'environnement. Il y a un immense jardin au milieu avec plus de 9 000 arbres, des sentiers de promenade et même un étang, ce qui lui donne davantage l'impression d'un parc que d'un bureau. À l'intérieur, tout est élégant et moderne, avec des espaces ouverts et une abondance de lumière naturelle pour encourager la créativité et la collaboration. Ce n’est pas juste un bâtiment—c’est la manière d'Apple de montrer leur engagement envers l'innovation, la nature et le design de pointe ! 🌳🍎 Animation créée par Sympa.

FunTranscript
00:00At that time, no one knew that it was the last public appearance of Steve Jobs.
00:05He spoke in front of the Cupertino City Council only four months before his death.
00:11And there, he presented the project of the new Apple Park campus.
00:15In the 90s, Apple built its first campus and named it Infinite Loop.
00:21The whole place was designed in a circle around a loop road,
00:25named after this programming concept where a code is executed indefinitely.
00:29Nice, isn't it?
00:30In short, it was good for a while, but as Apple continued to grow,
00:34they simply lacked space.
00:36Then, they started to acquire more buildings around the area.
00:40Finally, it turned into a disordered set of disparate offices
00:44that did not work at all together.
00:46Instead of abandoning Infinite Loop,
00:48Apple decided to keep it and build a huge modern campus nearby.
00:53They were lucky enough to find a giant field right next to Interstate 280.
00:58This highway crosses the Silicon Valley.
01:00Thus, it would be very easy for people to go to work.
01:04This field once belonged to Hewlett-Packard.
01:07But as this company was reducing its employees,
01:10it decided to sell and Apple jumped on the occasion.
01:13Interesting fact, Jobs worked at Hewlett-Packard during his adolescence,
01:18which made this fundraising acquisition particularly significant for him.
01:22To create their dream campus,
01:24Apple called on a renowned architect, Norman Foster,
01:28and his design studio.
01:30The idea was to build a huge building big enough to accommodate 12,000 people.
01:35This is why the campus' main building is a gigantic ring focused on collaboration.
01:40The creators wanted to ensure that employees from different departments
01:44could meet frequently in shared spaces.
01:47A major feature of the building
01:49is the use of gigantic curved glass panels.
01:52They offer panoramic, impressive views
01:55and a general feeling of openness.
01:57The ring-shaped building is surrounded by vast green spaces.
02:01Inside, it is divided into 9 sections,
02:03connected by luminous and open atriums.
02:06And everything is enveloped in a continuous wall of glass from the ground to the ceiling,
02:10thus offering you a complete view of the outside green space
02:13from anywhere inside the ring.
02:16The interior layout is also different.
02:18It is a huge open space where people can sit wherever they want,
02:22like in a co-working space or on a university campus.
02:25The main idea is to facilitate collaboration between people.
02:29Surprisingly, or not, after all, introverts exist,
02:33not everyone agrees with this open arrangement.
02:36Some Apple employees, especially programmers,
02:39say that it is actually difficult to concentrate with all this open space and this noise.
02:45Now, although this massive circular building is incredible,
02:49there is still not enough space for everyone at Apple.
02:52They have therefore added additional buildings nearby.
02:56But the new ones are not as incredibly stylish in terms of design as the main building.
03:01For things to work flawlessly,
03:03Apple has also put in place a private shuttle system
03:06to transport employees to the jam-packed streets of Silicon Valley.
03:10Apple Park was not just expensive to build.
03:13It was a whole other level of expenditure,
03:15costing an estimated $5 billion in total.
03:18If we break down this figure,
03:20it comes down to about $1,785 per 0.09 square meters,
03:25or a surprising $12.40 per 6.4 square centimeters.
03:31It is because almost everything in Apple Park
03:33has been designed to measure and meticulously elaborated.
03:37What would you say if we examined more closely
03:39what was necessary for some of the main structures?
03:42The main building, alias the space ship,
03:45is the heart of Apple Park and the most recognizable construction.
03:49The main ring-shaped structure is huge,
03:52measuring a total of 1.6 kilometers in circumference.
03:56The building itself is famous for its more than 3,000 curved glass panels
04:01that form the continuous glass walls.
04:03And this is how much all this beauty cost Apple.
04:06Then there is the Steve Jobs Theater.
04:09This place is a special addition to the campus,
04:11created in memory of the founder of Apple, Steve Jobs.
04:15It extends over 14,864 square meters
04:18and can accommodate up to 1,000 people.
04:20This makes it perfect for the famous launch of Apple products
04:23and other events.
04:25The theater's only hall cost about $12 million to build.
04:29Architect Norman Foster designed it
04:31so that only the elegant glass hall is visible from the outside.
04:36This pavilion is fully supported by glass without columns,
04:39which makes it the largest structure in the world
04:41fully supported by glass.
04:43The architect wanted the construction to look like a jewel
04:46nestled in the park.
04:47The whole theater is underground
04:49and opens on an impressive cylinder of glass 6 meters high.
04:52This cylinder is topped by one of the largest carbon fiber roofs in the world.
04:57And this is how much the whole theater cost.
05:00The visitor center at Apple Park
05:02was designed so that the general public
05:04can also have a taste of the Apple Park experience.
05:07This building includes a reception area for guests,
05:10an exhibition area where visitors can discover Apple products,
05:14as well as a cafe.
05:16There are also 185,800 additional square meters of parking here,
05:20of which the construction cost about $26 million.
05:24Well, at least it guarantees a lot of space for visitors.
05:28The visitor center even offers an exclusive Apple Store
05:32with products only available at this place,
05:35as well as an increased campus visit.
05:38It's as impressive as it looks
05:40and offers people a virtual insight into the Apple Park.
05:44The construction of the visitor center
05:46was not an easy task either.
05:49Apple takes the well-being of its employees seriously.
05:52And the campus includes a huge fitness center
05:55and 9,300 square meters of well-being,
05:57with high-tech facilities.
06:00It's not just a basic gym.
06:03It has several gyms,
06:05a yoga studio on two floors,
06:08and even meditation rooms for mental well-being.
06:11There are also facilities for team sports,
06:14physiotherapy spaces,
06:16as well as medical and dental services on site.
06:19Everything seems to be in place to ensure
06:21that employees have the support they need
06:24to stay in good health and active.
06:27All this, however, has a high price.
06:29Apple Park not only has a futuristic appearance,
06:32it is also designed to be extremely environmentally friendly.
06:36But before we dwell on this,
06:38let's take a look at the gigantic Apple Data Center in Reno, Nevada.
06:42This data center supplies services
06:44such as Siri, iCloud, Apple Music and Apple Pay.
06:48The complex is made up of five huge white buildings
06:51connected by a long central corridor
06:53and houses more than 200,000 servers.
06:56To ensure good operation and overall refreshment,
07:00this data center is fully powered by 100% green energy
07:04from three solar farms owned by Apple.
07:07And it's not just the data center in Reno.
07:10Apple has announced that all its facilities,
07:12from Apple Park's social center
07:14to its distribution centers and retail stores
07:16around the world,
07:18now operate at 100% renewable energy.
07:21Apple Park itself is part of this commitment.
07:2417 megawatts of solar panels cover its roof,
07:27which makes it one of the world's largest
07:29renewable energy facilities.
07:32At the moment, this 100% green energy goal
07:35only covers Apple's direct operations
07:37and does not yet include its suppliers.
07:40However, the company has already convinced
07:42a few dozen of its main suppliers
07:44to commit to using 100% renewable energy
07:47for parts of their services.
07:50But probably the most impressive thing of all
07:53is that Apple Park was designed
07:55to face the seismic risks of California.
07:58The building is based on a technology
08:00called basic insulation.
08:02It essentially places the entire structure
08:04on 692 large steel two-story sub-slabs.
08:09In the event of an earthquake,
08:11the sub-slabs allow the building to slide
08:13up to 1.2 meters in any direction.
08:16Thus, the entire construction
08:18remains stable and protected.
08:20This floating design helps the structure
08:23to withstand even the strongest shocks,
08:25ensuring everyone's safety inside.
08:28Unlike campuses like Google's,
08:30Apple Park is closed to the public.
08:33Fortunately, there is a visitor center
08:35that we talked about.
08:37Currently, it is probably the only way
08:39for foreigners to feel the atmosphere
08:41of Apple Park without needing
08:43an employee badge.
08:45In every way, Apple Park is much more
08:47than a simple office space.
08:49Its unique design, its cutting-edge technology
08:51and its commitment to sustainability
08:53reflect Apple's brand and values.
08:55For Apple, it's not just about
08:57creating a workplace.
08:59It's about creating a high-tech
09:01and respectful environment
09:03that demonstrates the company's obsession
09:05with quality, design and perfection.
