Amazon is building a new headquarters in Seattle. It has scrapped plans for a rectangular design and has replaced it with three connected domes. We learned about this on GeekWire.
The structure's design inspiration comes from buildings all over the world, including a zoo in Germany and gardens in Singapore. It will be tall enough to accommodate fully-grown trees inside. The renderings were put together by NBBJ.
The domes could take more than six years to build and the headquarters would take up 3.3 million square feet. The proposal is being discussed at Seattle's City Hall tonight.
Here's what the proposed Amazon dome headquarters will look like when it's finished.
