Amazon on Tuesday said it submitted its proposed development plans for the next phase of construction at its new headquarters in Arlington, Virginia. In addition to more traditional office buildings and retail spaces, the company's plans include a unique, double helix-inspired building that will "feature two walkable paths of landscaped terrain that will spiral up the outside of the building," Amazon said in a blog post.

The Helix was designed by NBBJ, the same architecture firm that designed the "Spheres" at Amazon's Seattle campus. It'll sit alongside three new 22-story buildings that'll provide office space for the 25,000 employees Amazon plans to accommodate at HQ2. The company said the Helix will host an artist-in-residence program and be open to the public on some weekends.

I don't see the point of going that far with any building. It just makes me feel like Amazon is bragging about how much money they have.
 
I don't think that's it so much as they're hoping to win over the community they're moving to and show how beneficial allowing a Amazon HQ into your town can be.
 
I just see this as a complete waste of money and time really. I don’t really know what to say other than that.

It looks like a vibrator with trees on it. Really, they could be paying their employees more rather than throw it away on a giant swirly dildo so the corporation can brag about how much money they make off of everyone. Just say'n. :sneaky:

Haha, it really does, it’s so ugly and yes I agree their employees should come first but it is Amazon.
