4 0 The Steve Jobs Theater , Cupertino , California Designed by Norman Foster

60 March 2018
The Steve Jobs Theater is a real example of how you can be inside and outside at the same time . The use of glass with the distinctive 155-foot metallic carbon fibre ‘ flying saucer lid ’ is a symbol to the world that Apple is still reaching for the stars . The building is sending a clear message about who is using it , which I admire . One of the most stunning aspects of the Steve Jobs Theater is the large , completely open top floor . There ’ s no visible frame , pipes , wires , or speakers – they are hidden in 20 of the thin joints separating each glass panel . Beautiful in its simplicity .
