Apple Architecture

One of the largest technology companies in the world, Apple has cemented itself as the premium brand for consumable electronics. The iPod, iPhone, and iPad are just three of the products that have made Apple a part of the lives of the majority of people on the planet.
Where do you get these wonderful toys you may ask...from an Apple Store of course! And these products are housed in buildings that showcase the overall simplicity in design that is the backbone of everything that Apple does.
Here are just a few of the stores from around the world...


Fifth Avenue, New York



Boston, Massachusetts



Somewhere in China ;-)



Upper West Side, New York



Shanghai, China



Grand Central Station, New York



Albuquerque, New Mexico

All these stores are stunning examples of architecture that elevate the process of buying a product to an experience that solidifies a customers loyalty. I am a fan of the architecture of behind these stores and of course the architects that design them. The majority of the larger retail stores has been designed by Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, who also (in a strange twist of fate) designed the personal home of Microsoft founder Bill Gates on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.
These large retail stores aside, I always get pleasure from visiting my own little piece of Apple architecture right here in Brisbane...
