Practically everyone knows that Steve Jobs revolutionized technology with his Apple products, but many forget he was once chief executive and lead investor of Pixar Animation. Well, Pixar hasn’t forgotten. The wildly imaginative movie studio has honored the computer whiz by naming its new headquarters in Emeryville, California, the Steve Jobs Building, which is particularly appropriate since Jobs helped design the structure himself! The tech master conceived of the sleek and simple atrium, saying that he wanted it to “look good 100 years from now.” (Seriously, was there anything he couldn’t do?) The entire finished building wraps around the atrium, allowing for collaboration and group exercises instead of isolated work spaces.
