I worked in this building. It was terrible. Low light, completely open office, people walking around you all the time, extremely noisy, pretty ugly (the roof-top garden was the exception). My team expensed noise cancelling headphones because it was so loud.

MPK 22 was also designed by Gehry Partners, which was a massive improvement on the inside, but outside is still kinda terrible in my opinion: https://www.truebeck.com/project/facebook-mpk-22/

Not surprising to hear. I mean Gehry has always been more flair than quality. His studio has probably weakest execution from all of the star architects. But it's a great brand i guess thats why you hire Gehry.

Same. Echo chamber hell. I appreciated the modernness of the interior as a design nerd, though it was uncomfortable as a primary desk for all the reasons you’ve said. Never mind the never ending flood of visitors up and down the walkways.

The roof was the main reprieve about the entire environment, wonderfully maintained and honestly a blessing to escape the main campus.

Nonetheless. Frank is a legend, very fortunate to have been able to been able to experience his work on a daily basis.

Wow you weren't kidding. The insides of that looks like an absolute hellscape. Like a whole floor is missing and they just set up shop in a warehouse!

I’ve spent some time there, and it did seem like a building that was primarily designed for satellite view — never mind what goes on inside.
