Businesses that sell popular beverages in aluminum cans can
design and build the company HQ in the shape of the very
product they sell. The cylindrical shape can be modified
slightly for employee-holding purposes but the basic shape
and graphics will leave no doubt whatsoever whose business
it
is and what their product is. The Coca Cola headquarters,
for example, would thusly be identifiable from miles away.
Extra credit for night time lights and graphics showing
bubbles and fizz.

Shouldn't the Coca Cola headquarters be bottle-shaped? |
|

I thought about that but the can format is currently more
widespread and the cylindrical can shape could probably
hold more space for offices, etc. |

In the twenties and thirties, it was not so unusual for new
buildings to look like ocean liners (with portholes, etc.) I read
that, before passenger flight, travel by liner was one of the most
glamorous experiences available, so naturally that influenced
architects. |

Depends on how high the stairs are. |
