Apple Store - Qingdao MixC

New Apple store, featuring a 10-metre finless glass facade, glass staircase, and Apple’s largest glass bridge. Finite Element Analysis was used in our design of the bridge to ensure that the response factor was kept below the required value so that users would not feel any vibrations. Connected to the stairs, the bridge was also engineered to be fireproof.
