LETTER (USA)
Bringing People To The Center
Shortly after being forced out of Apple Computer, Steve Jobs bought a small computer manufacturer named Pixar. In 2000, he relocated the company to an abandoned factory. The original plan called for three buildings, with separate offices for computer scientists, animators, and the Pixar executives.
Jobs immediately scrapped it. Instead of three buildings, he wanted a single vast space with an atrium at its center.
As Pixar’s Ed Catmull explains, “The philosophy behind this design is that it’s good to put the most important function at the heart of the building. Well, what’s our most important function? It’s the interaction of our employees. That’s why Steve put a big empty space there. He wanted to create an open area for people to always be talking to each other.”
Jobs saw separated offices as a design problem. He shifted the mailboxes to the atrium, then moved the meeting rooms, cafeteria, coffee bar, and gift shop to the center of the building. “The atrium initially might seem like a waste of space,” says director Brad Bird. “But Steve realized that when people run into each other, when they make eye contact, things happen.”
Jobs insisted that the best creations occurred when people from disparate fields were connected, especially in an age of intellectual fragmentation.
Steve Jobs knew his team could send a message throughout the Pixar building in a millisecond, but he created an environment that encouraged interaction. Intuitively we know Jobs is right. The content of any message can be sent and delivered around the world instantly. The context of the message is the part that helps people understand each other. For that, we still need the best communication technology ever conceived – human contact.

REAL ESTATE AGENT VERSION
Where Will You Celebrate Thanksgiving Next Year?
Most people I talk with about real estate have no intention to move into a different home – and I love that. I deeply appreciate the opportunity to share thoughts and advice on a topic I am passionate about which is living in a dream home, wherever and whenever that may be.
One of the big things in the way of moving to an ideal scenario is employment. Traditionally, most people try to live within a 25-minute radius of their work. Living within this bubble means their lifestyle is defined by their job. That idea may be disappearing. More and more people are contacting me because they received the green light from their employer to work remotely. In some cases, this doesn’t just mean expanding the work bubble by another 30-minutes or an hour. People who have always wanted a rural life, but were trapped in a city job, are moving to farms.
As the real estate consultant you trust to help you, your friends and family, I consider it a privilege to talk about having an ideal lifestyle… wherever and whenever that may be.
