Some of the world's biggest technology companies are spending billions of dollars on their corporate headquarters, but what is really behind these ostentatious displays of wealth? Manuela Saragosa speaks to Louise Mozingo - Professor in the Department of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning at the University of California, Berkeley and also to Jeremy Myerson - Helen Hamlyn Professor of Design at the Royal College of Art in London. Plus Lucy Kellaway of the Financial Times gives her take on why Apple is spending an eye-watering 5 billion dollars on what is being dubbed 'the mothership'.
