Description
The Apple Store Chicago with it's iconic tall glass walls, Mac Book styled roof, and amazing city views captured by photographer William Dey.
Every design feature minimizes the boundaries between the interior and exterior, including the ultra-thin roof and 32-foot glass walls. The transparency is heightened with radius corners of glass that visually disappear, allowing viewers to more easily notice the river below. The architects also tapered the metallic-colored roof’s edges so it visually rests more lightly on top of the glass walls.The flat panels of glass so important to the multistory river views were made by Sedak, a German glass manufacturer. These large areas of transparency break down the barrier of the building, focusing attention inside while also letting the interior bleed into the urban environment outside.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this artwork will be donated to The Chicago Architecture Center.
