a building wearing a sort of camouflage, as it were. It's a little hard to tell from the images Facebook posted of the models, but Gehry designed the campus expansion to blend into the landscape. As Zuckerberg noted in a post on his Facebook wall, "From the outside,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," the new building "will appear as if you're looking at a hill in nature."
