Apple is also changing the Architecture. Maybe most of you know that a couple of months ago a company launched a cybertecture tower called ‘iPad'. But it is not the first time... and not the last. The funniest project is called "shuffle" tower and it is a replica of the apple product (shuffle). I don't know your opinions ... but i woudn't like to live inside an ipod.

I hope (for them) Apple is not gonna change the brand...

That's kickass.
 
Please, you really must have more confidence in us engineers! :D

I have faith in engineers, not so much architects. Had a bunch of friends in architecture when I was Mech E major. When I saw their projects I didn't know whether to run in terror, cry for humanity or point and laugh.

The building doesn't look too bad in terms of earthquake, typhoons etc. The columns holding it up are beefy enough.

What bothers me is much more prosaic, power failure, insulation and ventilation. Without heavy duty HVAC the place would be miserable.
 
MongoTheGeek, u r right if you don't trust architects...
Look at this "beautiful" 1.6 M dollar toilet in Seoul:
His motto? "people born in restrooms will enjoy long lives" ... and he is 74 years old!!
