The story of Huddle
你站在 Huddle，离 Android lawn statues 约 270 m；它本身没有独立的说明，但它在这组大型泡沫雕像的范围内。那些雕像靠近 Googleplex，也就是 Google 在 Mountain View 的总部，摆在 Charleston Rd & Huff Ave。它们对应的是 Google 的 Android 移动操作系统版本代号，代号原本以甜点和糖果命名，Google 过去会为每个新 Android 版本定制一座雕像。
所以，眼前这个地点最值得看的，不是单独一栋建筑，而是它和这组 Android 雕像之间的关系：你正在一个与 Google 版本更新传统相关的空间里。这个传统一直延续到 2019 年，随着 Android 10 的发布才结束。
你所在的 Mountain View 属于加州圣克拉拉县，是旧金山湾区的一部分；这个城市名字来自 Santa Cruz Mountains 的景观。站在这里时，可以把 Huddle 当成进入这片科技地标景观的一个停点，再把视线带到附近那些按 Android 版本排布的雕像上。
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.
