The story of Huddle

आपके सामने जो हडल है, वह Android lawn statues परिसर के भीतर है, जो Googleplex के पास Mountain View में स्थित है। यहाँ की सबसे पहचानने लायक बात यह है कि यह जगह Google के Android संस्करणों के लिए बनी बड़ी foam मूर्तियों की एक श्रृंखला से जुड़ी है। Google पहले हर नए Android version के लिए एक statue बनवाता था; यह परंपरा Android 10 के साथ 2019 में खत्म हो गई, और Android 11 से statues virtual 3D models के रूप में बनने लगे।

ये मूर्तियाँ शुरू में Building 44 के सामने थीं, जहाँ Android development team के offices थे, और बाद में इन्हें कुछ blocks दूर, Google Visitor Center Beta के पास उनके मौजूदा स्थान पर ले जाया गया। यह इलाका Google employees और उनके guests के लिए खुला है, और visitors को photos लेने के लिए प्रोत्साहित किया जाता है। Up to 2013's KitKat तक, इन sculptures को Themendous, formerly known as Custom Creations, ने बनाया।

आप जिस city में खड़े हैं, Mountain View, Santa Clara County, California, United States में है, और इसका नाम Santa Cruz Mountains के views से पड़ा। यहाँ रुककर सबसे पहले आसपास की statues की series देखें, फिर Google Visitor Center Beta की तरफ़ चलें।

In brief

The Android lawn statues are a series of large foam statues near the Googleplex (Google's headquarters) in Mountain View, California, currently located at Charleston Rd & Huff Ave. They are based on the code names for versions of Google's Android mobile operating system, which were named after desserts and sweet treats. Google used to commission a statue for each new Android version, a tradition that ended in 2019 with the release of Android 10. Starting with Android 11, the statues are created as virtual 3D models.

These statues were originally located in front of Building 44, where the Android development team had its offices, before being moved to their present location a few blocks away next to the Google Visitor Center Beta. The area is open to Google employees and their guests, and visitors are encouraged to take photos.

Up to 2013's KitKat, all the sculptures were made by the company Themendous, previously known as Custom Creations.
