Samsung is one of the world's largest
[1]
tech companies but it's had a low-key
[3]
presence in Silicon Valley until this
[5]
300 million dollar campus opened in 2015
[10]
[Music]
[43]
this design is about connecting people
[46]
and the design started as really two
[50]
separate buildings and then we
[52]
ultimately landed on this idea of these
[54]
two-story bars that would connect the
[57]
building on both sides and really define
[59]
this courtyard space originally this
[65]
courtyard and one of our initial and one
[67]
of our initial designs was actually
[69]
rectangular the curves weren't here it
[71]
actually it actually came together in
[74]
sort of hard edges we actually ran a
[78]
computational script and looked at what
[81]
a typical day would look like on a on an
[85]
office floor looking at how many
[87]
calories each employee might burn and
[89]
how many of their colleagues they might
[91]
see and we found was was that by
[94]
studying that if we began to round these
[97]
corners and actually create two-story
[100]
spaces behind these curved sections of
[103]
glass that improved people's visibility
[106]
and actually drew them out into those
[108]
spaces and allowed them a greater
[110]
opportunity for collaboration so how
[112]
many calories would I burn working at
[113]
Samsung every day probably just in the
[116]
course of a normal work day I have to
[118]
remember what the script said but it was
[119]
between seven and eight hundred does
[124]
this space help with productivity it
[128]
does there are a couple things that are
[131]
happening here first of all you notice
[133]
that you're getting a view and natural
[136]
light from both sides of the space
[139]
which is important there's research that
[141]
shown how natural light and views help
[144]
people focus and process information in
[147]
a more effective way than if they're in
[149]
a more closed environment so right now
[156]
we're in one of the main workspaces in
[157]
the building it's sort of an open
[159]
two-story design with the deaths all
[161]
along the outside here and then a main
[163]
staircase behind me that connects them
[165]
the architect ELLs me that the goal of
[167]
this was to sort of get people up out of
[169]
their desks moving around and then just
[171]
also to be able to see people and see
[173]
which of their colleagues are free so
[174]
they could go have a conversation have
[177]
you actually seen people connecting and
[179]
having these impromptu meetings or is
[181]
that a sort of goal that isn't playing
[184]
out in real time I think it was a goal
[186]
but I've actually seen it and I've
[187]
experienced it myself and so for example
[189]
I have lots of meetings all over the
[190]
building from any point during the day
[192]
and I'm always bumping into somebody
[194]
from another department somebody in my
[196]
organization then oh yeah oh and by the
[198]
way and you sort of find yourself having
[200]
these by the way conversations and so I
[202]
think the design of the building really
[204]
facilitates people to get up and move
[206]
around a lot and then that's where you
[208]
have those those encounters yeah I've
[210]
definitely noticed there's a lot of
[211]
walking around I feel like I've even
[213]
done a fair amount of water I think you
[215]
can get your step count up to about
[217]
10,000 without leaving the building
[218]
during the day from here you can really
[225]
get a good sense of the building design
[227]
you can see the public area down below
[230]
the first floor closed office spaces
[233]
another open-air walkway offices
[236]
open-air walkway and then the top of the
[238]
building and really what you're seeing
[239]
is the offices commitment to getting
[242]
people outside with the public area
[245]
below and the open-air floors here
[247]
no Samsung employee is more than one
[249]
floor away from being outside
[253]
we wanted people to get up out of their
[255]
desks and move and actually get out of
[257]
the building and and so rather than
[260]
having the the cafe actually inside of
[263]
the building we consciously pulled it
[265]
out across the public space so rather
[270]
than this being kind of a more of a
[273]
typical cafeteria we wanted to give it
[276]
having more of a dynamic and lighter
[278]
feel and it goes back to that whole idea
[280]
of encouraging people to come and spend
[283]
time here and potentially engage other
[287]
workers that they might not normally see
[290]
employees can choose from around a dozen
[292]
types of global cuisine prepared fresh
[295]
each day and then there's the other
[296]
perks on campus
[298]
tennis courts full court basketball a
[300]
gym a garden massage rooms a coffee shop
[302]
and the chill zone so this is the chill
[309]
zone there are foosball tables ping pong
[312]
tables arcade games sports playing on
[314]
the wall back there basically there's a
[316]
lot of not work happening in this room
[319]
it's pretty fun having this right here
[324]
in the heart of Silicon Valley allows us
[326]
to compete very well in that and that
[329]
war for talent and is it working
[331]
absolutely I think if you look at some
[333]
of the Glassdoor scores and other
[335]
metrics like that I think we've made
[337]
some some great strides in the last
[338]
couple of years in terms of having a
[340]
very very open and collaborative
[342]
environment that we've created here for
[344]
our employees do you think other
[346]
companies in Silicon Valley other tech
[348]
firms will create spaces that are more
[352]
like this I think they're gonna have to
[355]
because the younger it's a creative
[360]
that these companies are targeting that
[364]
they need basically to survive our
[367]
expecting spaces like this I think
[369]
companies will if they want to continue
[372]
to attract that talent and and stay
[375]
ahead of the curve they're gonna need to
[377]
consider you know ideas like this and in
[381]
spaces like this oh and also there are
[384]
these things called nap pods
[395]
ah not bad
