Apple’s new futuristic looking building in Cupertino, California has some design issues. When the building opened, visitors to the building almost immediately started walking into windows while trying to find the doors.
Post it notes were placed on some of the windows but were immediately removed because it didn’t fit the design aesthetic of the building.
Do bleeding heads fit into the design aesthetic of the building?
Here are transcripts of three 911 calls made after people walked into the glass walls at the new Apple headquarters.
