Today would have been Steve Jobs’ 64th birthday, and Apple CEO Tim Cook has taken to Twitter this morning to offer a remembrance of Jobs. The Apple co-founder was born on February 24th, 1955 and would be celebrating his 64th birthday this year.
Cook shared a brief video of a pond at Apple Park, remarking that Jobs’ “vision is reflected all around us at Apple Park.” Cook said that Apple has become the home for Apple innovation:
Steve’s vision is reflected all around us at Apple Park. He would have loved it here, in this place he dreamed up — the home and inspiration for Apple’s future innovations. We miss him today on his 64th birthday, and every day.
Steve Jobs played a big role in the development of Apple Park. In June of 2011, Jobs went before the Cupertino City Council to present his proposal for the new Apple campus. A few months later, Jobs described his vision for Apple Park:
It’s got a gorgeous courtyard in the middle, and a lot more. It’s a circle, so it’s curved all the way round. This is not the cheapest way to build something. Every pane of glass in the main building will be curved. We have a shot, at building the best office building in the world. I really do think that architecture students will come here to see it
At the iPhone X event in September of 2017 at Steve Jobs Theater, Cook spoke on what Jobs had hoped to accomplish with the design of Apple Park:
“His vision for Apple Park was to create an incredible work place for the future. Where engineers and designers could all be together, collaborating on the next-generation of Apple product to change the world.”
Steve’s vision lives on at Apple Park and everywhere at Apple. Today and always, we honor him.”
