At launch, Google's VP of Real Estate & Workplace Services, David Radcliffe, said the site "marks the first time we developed one of our own major campuses, and the process gave us the chance to rethink the very idea of an office." The result is a wild tent-like structure with a striking roofline made up of swooping square sections.

In other words, they erected themselves a circus tent. Ironic.

Hilarious in a way...

Of course Google would have problems with the very foundation of a technology needed for business when choosing to design the building themselves.

Like, they couldn't consult with a professional.

Seems very... on brand for Google now.
