Lasseter had originally wanted a traditional Hollywood studio,
拉塞特最初的想法，是建造一個傳統(tǒng)樣式的好萊塢工作室，
with separate buildings for various projects and bungalows for development teams.
各自獨立的大樓為不同的項目服務，開發(fā)團隊在單層建筑里辦公。
But the Disney folks said they didn't like their new campus because the teams felt isolated, and Jobs agreed.
但是迪士尼的同事說，他們并不喜歡這樣的新園區(qū)，因為團隊之間有疏離感，喬布斯認同這個看法。
In fact he decided they should go to the other extreme:
實際上，他走向了另一個極端，
one huge building around a central atrium designed to encourage random encounters.
一棟龐大的建筑圍繞著中庭，為員工們的“偶遇”制造機會。
Despite being a denizen of the digital world,
雖然生活在數字世界里，
or maybe because he knew all too well its isolating potential, Jobs was a strong believer in face-to-face meetings.
又或許因為他太了解數字生活帶來的孤立感，喬布斯非常推崇面對面的交談。
"There's a temptation in our networked age to think that ideas can be developed by email and iChat," he said.
他說：“在我們這個網絡時代，有一種想法認為，創(chuàng)意通過郵件和網絡iChat聊天就可以被開發(fā)出來。
"That's crazy. Creativity comes from spontaneous meetings, from random discussions.
這是個瘋狂的想法。創(chuàng)意產生于自發(fā)的談話和隨機的討論中。
You run into someone, you ask what they're doing, you say 'Wow,' and soon you're cooking up all sorts of ideas."
比如你偶遇某個人，你問最近在做些什么，然后你說‘哇’，很快你就會蹦出各種想法。”
So he had the Pixar building designed to promote encounters and unplanned collaborations.
所以，喬布斯把皮克斯的大摟設計成了一個推崇“偶遇”和“計劃外合作”的場所。
"If a building doesn't encourage that, you'll lose a lot of innovation and the magic that's sparked by serendipity," he said.
他說：“如果一棟大樓沒有這樣的功能，你就會失去很多由于偶遇而產生的創(chuàng)意和奇想。
"So we designed the building to make people get out of their offices and mingle in the central atrium with people they might not otherwise see."
所以我們設計這棟大樓的目的，是希望員工們走出辦公室，多到中央中庭來走走，因為他們會遇到一些平時見不到的人。”
The front doors and main stairs and corridors all led to the atrium,
大樓的前門、主樓梯和走廊都能通到中庭，
the café and the mailboxes were there, the conference rooms had windows that looked out onto it,
那里有咖啡廳和信箱，幾間能透過玻璃窗看到中庭的會議室，
and the six-hundred-seat theater and two smaller screening rooms all spilled into it.
還有一座能容納600人的劇場，以及兩個小放映室。
"Steve's theory worked from day one," Lasseter recalled. "I kept running into people I hadn't seen for months.
拉塞特回憶道：“史蒂夫的理論從第一天起就見效了。我接連遇見一些幾個月都沒碰見的人。
I've never seen a building that promoted collaboration and creativity as well as this one."
我還從來沒見過哪座大樓的設計能如此鼓勵合作和激發(fā)創(chuàng)意。”
