The public architecture of Silicon Valley is like the interior design of a hotel that rents by the hour. Even as every company touts their desire and ability to change the world–and some very much do–the buildings are inoffensive and generic enough to welcome the next guest. They lack style, not necessarily in the sense of being ugly, but simply being unstyled, like a size medium suit ordered off the internet. The arrangement works for both parties: the tech company’s goal is always to grow rapidly enough that they will be moving soon, and the property owner’s goal is to be able to fill the space with whoever can pay the rent for the next twelve months.
