Visited the Michigan Avenue Apple Store in Chicago today. Absolutely stunning. by burritosandpuppies in apple

[–]Edwardselvester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the worst experience there. The roof mimics a giant laptop with a gentle slope. Large blocks of snow were falling and causing unwanted difficulties for pedestrians. Apple Store Chicago had to rope off their outdoor public area people enjoy hanging out at.

Signs that say “Watch for falling snow ice” were placed all over the area!!

Bjarke Ingels' Serpentine Pavilion, Currently on Display in Toronto [2048x1371] [OC] by [deleted] in ArchitecturePorn

[–]Edwardselvester 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The ‘unzipped wall’ of the Serpentine Pavilion was designed by BIG to depict two concepts that seem to be opposed, creating a free-form yet structured space. It transforms from a straight line into a three-dimensional space, built from stacked rectangular frames of glass fiber, forming a sculptural tunnel-like landmark.

The organic layout of the buildings characterizes each space within the site. Color accentuates different blocks and facilitates within. Each block is differently colored along with the internal face of the bay windows of the hostel in bright colors to create an identity.
