As I was scrolling though the Foster + Partners website looking at buildings, the Apple Park caught my eye because of its unusual shape and sheer size. The park consists of the Ring Building, Steve Jobs Theatre, Fitness & Wellness Center, Visitor’s Center, and South Parking and covers 175 acres with 4 miles of trails. There are 9000 trees planted in the park along with sports fields and a pond. The park is powered 100% by renewable energy and is the largest LEED Platinum certified office space in North America. While reading about the building, the most interesting thing I read is about the glass façade of the Restaurant, which is described as a town square of the campus. The glass façade north eastern glass façade is made of glass doors that measure 15 meters tall by 55 meters wide that move via tracks beneath the floor. These are absolutely huge and I think it would be very cool to see the doors be opened and closed and learn about what powers the doors and their presumably immense weight. I think that the contrast between the nature-centered park that focuses on beautiful scenery and renewable energy and the fact that it is for Apple Inc, a huge tech company, is very meaningful. The fact that Apple runs a company that is arguably the complete opposite of nature-related yet decided to ensure that their office building is not using more resources than necessary is very admirable and speaks for the company’s values.
