Project Description
Located near the busy Pudong district in Shanghai, the Apple Store sits in a large urban plaza below a new circular sunken court. Its entrance is marked by a large glass cylinder, forty-one feet high. To reach the store from the plaza level, visitors travel over a shallow reflecting pool to a transparent, cylindrical entry. They then descend to the store below the plaza on a spiral glass staircase.
