However, with the lack of urban fabric in Silicon Valley, the “Google Bus” would transport tech employees to work in the suburbs and back to the city of San Francisco leaving behind a massive isolated and autonomous entity unused. The lack of urban fabric at the sites of the tech giants has therefore resulted in gentrification in the Bay area. Instead, bring the urban fabric to the cities where the tech campuses are located as opposed to bringing only a tech campus to the city. With how much real estate these tech campuses take up, they can become a model for how autonomous campuses can be diffused and deployed into the city to create an urban fabric; an urban fabric that provides a pedestrian street-scape and public space for an urban fabric(less) city. application/pdf eng Copyright is held by the author, unless otherwise indicated.
