Campus concept
A hybrid: one core, several satellites
A central tower with research wings, plus separate buildings where separation is genuinely useful.
The core, from the middle outwards
Distance from the tower follows how often something is needed from it.
- 01
Central tower
Leadership, agent operations, meeting rooms, compute monitoring.
- 02
Research labs
Closest to the tower. A short walk from a question to an answer.
- 03
Prototyping and engineering
Beyond the labs. Noisier, dirtier, less often needed in a hurry.
Separate buildings
These have their own reasons to stand apart.
- Manufacturing and warehouseDifferent footprint, logistics and noise
- Hazardous and specialized labsSeparation is the safety measure
- Data centerPower, cooling and access controls no office should inherit
- GymSomewhere to go that is not the desk
- Employee apartmentsFor people who want to live close, never a condition
- Support infrastructurePlant, storage and utilities
Designed around AI native work
Principles for a way of working, not a specification for a room.
Voice where voice is better
Voice for asking, a keyboard for anything exact.
Agents as normal collaborators
An agent has context, can be wrong, and can be told so.
Shared spatial interfaces
Three dimensional work looked at together, not in turns.
Idea, simulation, prototype, test
The loop is the unit of work. Shortening it beats any tool.
Explicit human override
Stop or reverse any agent action, without needing the agent.
Rooms shaped by the work in them
- Deep workQuiet, single person. Concentration is the scarce resource
- CollaborativePeople and agents on one problem, around a shared display
- SimulationOutput meant to be walked around, not read off a monitor
None of these spaces exists. No room, no building, no campus, and no agent works in one.
Borrowed campus bikes
Free bikes at docks. Take one, ride it, leave it. They stay ME property, so nobody stores or insures one.
