New Yorker:Apple Store at Fifth Ave between 58th and 59th St

(2006-09-06 19:04:21) 下一个

This store probably, in my opinion, the most architecturally ingenious design among all of the Apple's stores in the world.   From outside it is a distinctive hollow 32-foot tall glass cube made by over  500  sheets of glass. After you pass the entrance you would see an inspirational   glass cylindrical elevator occupies the center of the space. At anytime of the day light and ambiance would broadcast throughout the structure to spur your imaginations.   Rumor has it,  Steve Jobs , the CEO of Apple, was the architect and financier of this glass building. Personally, I like  Steve Jobs a lot, I think he is one of  most  visionary ,innovational and resilient  CEO in American modern history and a textbook of cases study that  how a company would be led  by someone to  survive and succeed in cut-throat global business world .   

I also admire the guts of Apple to open a store at   most posh neighborhood, along with high-end of boutiques such as Guccis, Luis Vuittons, Tiffany, Godiva … and to stand there  with  the big guys like Bergdorf Goodman, FAO Schwarz , GM and Trump Towers ….   And this apple store does more,  it opens 7 days and 24 hours. After the store was opened on May this year and it has become instant hit in New York City.

I like this apple store because it is not far from where I live, I can step into store at any time of the day to sample some video games on 24 inches super monitor, beat that. I particularly adore the consonance and translucent affects caused by the collide among geometric shapes - cube, rectangular prism and cylinder.  It is the combination of power, lines and lights done in  an aesthetic expression.

纵然平行 回复 悄悄话 mapleinfall: I am Sorry for disappointing you in two fronts;

1). Correction, I am not qualify as a teacher. As you may see that I, myself, is a learning student and struggling to improve my English as well. Put this way, if you allow a blind leads a blind, the result would be a tragic (:.

2). I have made my decision to use English to write my blog at the moment I joined WXC. The reason was that I’d like to make an attempt to prove that English can be beautiful and powerful as its counterpart -Chinese to depict whatever in writer’s mind.

Please forgive me for my "refusals".



豆沙小月饼:I am glad that my writings about New York City were able to assist you to enjoy attractions a bit more .
I think that by large, travel experiences we gained might be categorized in two ways; “been there done that” or “exploring in depth”. Both of these two can benefit us and enhance/highlight our senses of appreciation for culture, art, life style and all other accomplishments of humankind.

However, if you dropped SoHo from your attraction lists that could be a pity (:.




豆沙小月饼 回复 悄悄话 纵然平行,
我今天沿着你博客当中的attractions走了一遍,可惜实在没有时间去Soho了。

我的小本本上记下的都是你这个New Yorker告诉我们的tips,让同行的朋友惊讶不已。他原以为我对纽约一点概念也没有。嘿嘿。没想到最后都是听从我的计划安排。

在此深表谢意,你的帮助让我和朋友度过了非常充实愉快有意义的一天。
