Cupertino posts rendering, plans for Apple’s new “mothership”

Renderings of Apple's new proposed Cupertino headquarters/mothership

Cupertino.org has posted a bunch of PDF files pertaining to Apple’s very Pixar-flying-saucer-esque new headquarters, planned for the old HP lot they acquired. The building, formed like a giant ring with apricot orchards, massive underground parking, and room for 20,000 employees, will make use of the same kind of leading edge design and manufacturing Apple has used for everything from their products to their Apple Stores, especially in constructing those huge, rounded glass panels.

If you haven’t already, watch the video of Steve Jobs pitching the idea to Cupertino City Council. You get the idea it might be able to detach and break earth orbit if our world ever becomes too annoying or aesthetically displeasing for Apple…

More pics after the break, or if you’re the patient type, hit up the PDFs linked below.
