That specific store is the one that really rubs me the wrong way. I remember coming up from the subway and walking up the stairs and suddenly realizing that I wasn't in a seating area or a cafe but inside an apple store felt bizzare, like I wasn't meant to be there since I wasn't interested in looking at the products. If it was tucked away like any other store then ok, but it kind of monopolizes a big chunk of one of the most famous and beautiful 'public spaces' in the city, kinda gross in my opinion.

@Conor Hampton Hm. We need an HVAC expert! The greatest current viral threat seems to be from people talking in a space with inadequate air exchange over a period of time, and the walled offices I've had in the past seemed to have their own air supplies (as well as protecting you from unwanted conversation). But it's true that I've never noticed specific air extraction paths, so perhaps that bodes ill for people in the hallways of conventional buildings? But health aside, studies do show that open offices are terrible for productivity, and it's hardly surprising given that you have to keep an eye on your surroundings all the time-and that people keep talking. At the best of times I'd hate to work in the Spaceship.

I live in Madrid, Spain and Apple built a store in Puerta del Sol, a square in the very heart of “downtown” Madrid. They refurbished an old hotel/building that was quite run down. It was a very responsible, respectful restoration and I was very happy to see it done with such care. The only downside, Apple moved an iconic billboard which was on top of the building to another building within the same square.

Responding to Apple Stores located near landmarks, I think it's fine if the exterior matches the rest of the place and if there are other retailers around. But the interior can be seen from the outside, so that might mess up the look.

The design of it is GREAT. Looking for what you need is so easy, everything is so simple, its all out in the open, and everything is propped up to see it great.

The legend is back 💪💪😘😘

Have you ever done an episode about glass? Where are those huge glass panels made? How are they made? How are they transported and installed? How expensive are they compared to a more conventional wall? How energy efficient are they? Does your heating and cooling cost go way up?

i first visited an Apple Store in Sydney in 2009, it was unlike any other stores I'd had visited before. It was a very unique shopping experience, way way ahead of its' time.

Frankly speaking i am not 100% into the online thing-and i believe when it comes to architecture Apple nailed it-commerce must be in all essence and intent be a person to person thing and secondly they have breathed some life into places that were on the verge being disused-such symbiosis is really needed now more than ever.Architecture at times is about challenging the norm to preserve the precious.More videos like this and 3 million subs by the end of year is a reality than a dream.

The cover picture is from Apple store in Bangkok, my location. Love it 🍎

The second Apple Store in Catalonia is in Barcelona, on Passeig de Gràcia, corner with Plaça Catalunya, next to the entrance to the Spanish trains. I remember in 2008 passing by the building that is now his property and seeing a beautiful building, but it seemed abandoned. Apple bought the mezzanine (in Catalonia, in old buildings it is known as the first floor, and the second is the first...), the ground floor and the basement of the building and restored it, and finally opened in 2012. Now the building is in good condition, well maintained and beautiful.

Steve Jobs got his inspiration from Japanese Zen culture. It's why Apple stores look Zen, with wood, concrete, plants, it comes from Japan. Lots of his philosophy came from Buddhism in India. It's about keeping things simple, and minimalism coincides with this ideology, it's why their stores look minimalist. Steve wore the same thing everyday, for simplicity. His black long sleeve t shirts were designed by a Japanese artist. And, he was a vegan because of his adoption of Buddhism.
