    I could see Wonder Woman having a receptionist there.

    Somehow though, I could also picture the Johnny Depp rendition of Willy Wonka sleeping there too. #cocoonheadquarters

    So apparently they'll build you a mini Guggenheim? I wonder how Gehry feels about all this.

    One thing about building a cocoon, or hive-shaped office space is that you end up with a really, really high volume to surface area ratio... for whatever that's worth. #cocoonheadquarters

    Hey Rosa! Glad you like architecture, but how about looking into something here in America?

    Check out Aqua in Chicago or The Beekman in New York, or any number of the other interesting projects that are not limited to foreign countries.

    Is commercial architecture really so boring in the US? I don't follow architecture too closely, but it seems like most cool new office buildings I see are in Europe. #cocoonheadquarters

    I've never seen any design like this...
    *COUGH*
    [www.guggenheim.org]

    Plus, I'd still rather not be in switzerland. Traffic there redefines "suck."

    That being said, I would love to work there. #cocoonheadquarters

    @Rosa Golijan: Hey, I wasn't pushing New York that time! I was just pointing out that it wasn't the most original design on earth.

    That being said, it is probably the most zip-down-at-high-speeds -while-on-your-way -to-nab-a-bad-guy-able of this general spiral design I've seen...

    Is that a stripper pole or one of those firefighter poles? Either way, I want to work at Google! #googleswissheadquarters
