About this audio guide
This guide to The Spheres in Seattle explores the logic behind Amazon's downtown headquarters: three glass domes filled with forty thousand plants, built because real estate chief John Schoettler felt a normal office tower was missing a connection to nature. It follows you across a swaying canopy walk engineered to feel like a bridge strung between rainforest trees, into a treehouse meeting nest employees call the birdcage. You'll also hear about Rubi, a sixty-five-foot fig tree hauled in from California roots and all, and horticulturalist Ron Gagliardo's case for a workspace built to make people think differently.
