Facebook Engineering Offices in New York

去年全球最大的社交媒体Facebook宣布要在纽约新建一栋工程办公大楼，纽约工程团队的领导人Serkin Piatino已经确认，将邀请弗兰克·盖里在9290平方米的历史建筑Wanamaker建筑的旧址上，来设计他们的办公楼。这个历史建筑最早采用了铸铁门面和宽大玻璃窗，让室内接受到更多的自然光。它最早由费城零售商John Wanamaker买下，此后就由此命名。新的Facebook办公楼将会附属在这个建筑之上。设计师正忙于Facebook位于门洛帕克市的总部设计，但是这个建筑会成为本公司纽约地区工程师的办公场所。据称Facebook签署了10年的租赁合同，在纽约东村西缘形成了“硅谷”规模。
Facebook纽约办公室的领导人Serkin Piatino对继续建立的Facebook企业文化十分兴奋，对盖里即将创造出的新的办公空间充满期待。这个建筑位于百老汇大街770号，这里还有著名的卡连佛、美国在线服务公司(AOL)和尼尔森。Serkin Piatino介绍说，搬入新大楼后，办公空间将会翻一番，员工可以在更大更开放的环境中工作和交流，会有新的会议室和休息、交流空间。这里设计了大量视频会议设备，让办公更快捷便利。员工在这里会享受到与总部一样的办公环境，也会感受到在曼哈顿这样的地方办公的独特体验。预计2014年这个建筑建成后，会有营销、市场、沟通、设计和工程团队迁入。

While plans to open a Facebook engineering office in New York were announced last year， Serkin Piatino， site director for Facebook New York's engineering team， has taken to the largest social media network in the world to confirm that Frank Gehry will be designing the 100，000 square foot workspaces over two levels of the historic Wanamaker building. The structure was one of the earliest to employ a cast iron facade， which allowed for a more generous window and consequently the entrance of more natural light. A Philadelphia retailer named John Wanamaker bought the former dry good building in August 1896. The new Facebook offices will be in the 'annex' of the original structure. Although the architect is in the midst of developing the Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park， the downtown building will be the new home for the engineers of the site's most popular and promising products and technologies. The company reportedly signed a 10 year lease， concretizing the formation of 'silicon alley' on the west edge of New York's east village.
The director expressed excitement in continuing to establish Facebook's corporate culture and in working alongside Gehry in developing how the company's principals might manifest in the built form. The building at 770 Broadway lies at the nexus of design-forward common areas and is additionally home to J.crew， AOL and Nielson. Of the move， director Serkin Piatino said: it's almost double the size of our current space and gives us room to grow even further. That means big， open spaces for people to work and collaborate， and lots of room for conference rooms and cozy spaces where people can meet or grab a white board to talk through ideas on a whim. We'll have plenty of video conferencing equipment to make meeting with our colleagues in other offices really quick and easy...It will share many of the features of our headquarters， but will be distinctly big apple in design and speak to the unique experience of working in a place like Manhattan. A team comprised of diverse talents in sales， marketing， communication， design and engineering is slated to move into the Gehry-designed space at the start of 2014.
