I must say, Norman Foster did an amazing job with that building; the detailing is off the fucking scale. Clinical bastard.
I used to work there. It's impressive.
Funny thing is it lacks any character.
You feel like you are an extra in Gattaca.

I heard that in his infinite OCDness Ron Dennis had the whole building made slightly smaller than oringinally planned so that they wouldn't need to cut any of the special floor tiles he'd chosen. Also that the whole building is positively pressurised so that when outside doors are opened it blows air out rather than letting dust/dirt/contaminants in. Is this true?
