Pixar gets new (old) building
There’s an article in the NYTimes today about Pixar’s new building, which they had built to resemble an old one. Something interesting:
To understand how far Pixar has come since its founding 14 years ago, it would be helpful to have seen the company’s previous creative campus – a cluster of somewhat rundown buildings in an anonymous office park near a Point Richmond freeway, about 10 miles to the north. Some of the buildings were separated by a busy road, forcing workers to scurry like squirrels to avoid the fast-moving traffic.
Hmmm… Sounds familiar, like Steve Jobs’ other company. 🙂

interesting tidbit about the disney animation building: none of the animators’ workspaces have natural light in them. on purpose. the logic being that if animators cant see the sun, they’ll work longer because they’ll forget what time it is. you gotta respect how impressively evil that is.
