Google planning massive new headquarters

Google is expected to propose plans for a new headquarters this week in its hometown of Mountain View, Calif.

The New York Times reports the facility would feature a series of canopylike buildings from Heatherwick Studio, a London design firm known for works like the fiery caldron at the 2012 Olympics, and Bjarke Ingels, a Danish architect known for his innovative designs.
