Apple Park by Foster + Partners was the most significant building of 2017
- Apple Park by Foster + Partners, the most recognisable office of the past 25 years was created to replace the Infinite Loop Campus.
- Apple redefined the electronics buying experience through a series of architecturally significant Apple Stores designed by US studio Bohlin Cywinski Jackson.
- In 2014, Apple handed design responsibility for its retail legacy to UK studio Foster + Partners, with the studio's first store – also topped with a glass pavilion – opening in Istanbul.
- The ring-shaped Apple Park office in California has been described as the biggest product produced by the iPhone maker which demonstrated the brand's design ideals to the world on a grand scale.
- The 260,000-square-metre structure sits in a grassy landscape dotted with 9,000 trees including oak, redwood and 25 varieties of fruit tree.
- Floor slabs were made from pre-cast, polished concrete, while the entire building was wrapped in curved glass panels, which are the world's largest.
- While the Infinite Loop buildings are generic 1990s office architecture, the ambition for Apple Park was far greater.
- Steve Jobs wanted a workplace that combined the collegiate atmosphere of Stanford and the apricot and cherry groves he recalled from his youth growing up.
- The building is surrounded by parkland and a six-metre-high pavilion wrapped in glass and topped with a carbon-fibre roof stands above a 1,000-seat auditorium.
- Apple Park was designed and built to exacting standards – often likened to the quality of Apple's products. Small things can be perfect, big things cannot, they are just too much. Unless, it seems, you have the money of Jobs.
