Chicago is currently witnessing the opening of the first of a new series of Apple stores. The store, which is located at Michigan Avenue, was designed by Foster + Partners. The architectural firm utilized the concept of a ?Town Square? in the store?s design.
?When Apple opened on North Michigan Avenue in 2003, it was our first flagship store, and now we are back in Chicago opening the first in a new generation of Apple?s most significant worldwide retail locations,? commented senior vice president of Retail in Apple, Angela Ahrendts. ?Apple Michigan Avenue exemplifies our new vision where everyone is welcome to experience all of our incredible products, services and inspiring educational programs in the heart of their city. We can?t wait to welcome the community for opening weekend, and to launch ?The Chicago Series? with our incredible local partners on Monday.? Photography: Patrick Lynch
A highly-influential site, that is right next to the Chicago Tribune building, was selected by the giant electronics company along with the city to revive the Chicago River area. The new building, that has become a vital portion of the landscape, links the city to the river.
