No, me too. Glass in itself is invisible, it's the edges that refract light light and give it dimension and interest. Imagine a polished diamond cube without facets. It would make sense if the building behind were some kind of architectural landmark that you wanted to get out of the way of.
Thanks for putting your finger on it. The new design is definitely cleaner, and quite striking in its engineering chutzpah. But there is something about the old that seems more "sparkly" and bright.
No, it appears you do not. You even have the nerve to call this "functionalism" for fuck's sake. But don't worry, Apple and Steve Jobs apparently do.
Wow, thanks for the completely pointless, gratuitous swearing. First, art is subjective to begin with (and good architecture is more art than engineering) - so back off. And second, swearing doesn't improve your argument or reasoning. Just makes you appear boorish.
Sexy design for the most valuable company in the world.
Shame they cannot figure out how to have each side of the cube be a single piece.
I'm no expert, but if you consider the logistics of moving a piece of glass that large through NYC, let alone five of them....it may not be possible currently...
Or, so you can see its there(sarc). There will be people, birds, dogs, cats, running into this thing because the can't see its there. The ACLU, ASPCA, Green Peace etc will soon be suing. If it was in east Texas, Im sure someone will start a class action.
M'eh ultimately it will be covered in bird doo doo so it wont be a problem.
An invisible Apple Store... now there's an interesting idea.

What glass isn't highly recyclable?
Exactly.
Or better yet, one piece for it all!
Or better yet, am apple shaped force field that eliminate need for glass at all.
is that only me who thinks OLD 1 was much better

Unfortunately no. But that's the problem with most humans: they are utterly tasteless.

And you're utterly tactless, I guess you can't win everything.

They probably tried that, but then the door wouldn't close. Hmm, maybe they don't have to close the door as they're open 24/7 LOL
