Way back in June 2011 we brought you early screen grabs from the presentation of Apple's Spaceship Inspired Future Cupertino Offices, and today we are tantalizing your tastebuds again with Apple's updated images of the headquarters. The four story extravaganza, thought to be pegged for completion in 2016, has allegedly been taken on by Norman Foster Architects, with Arup cited for consulting on engineering, OLIN for landscape architecture, and Davis Langdon for construction. The proposal for this visionary architecture was also the last public appearance by Apple's late cofounder, Steve Jobs, who oversaw the design of the building, becoming part of the amazing legacy he leaves behind.
