Even though I think I've experienced a lot and been to a lot of amazing places, there are only two places I've been to that felt unreal. You might think I'm crazy, but when you fly in a helicopter or take the cable car around Mont Blanc,ancu, you see expeditions preparing for the climb below you, you see tents set up and everything you only know from movies unless you are a professional climber. It was the first time I felt like I was in a movie and in Apple Not only did this feeling repeat itself to Park, but it was even more powerful.
Apple The park is, on the one hand, a place you cannot get to without you Apple invited, it already makes him something quite special. The very building that he himself Apple denotes as Apple Park Ring is simply a stunning piece of architecture. To make matters worse, this is one of the few places in Cupertino, or indeed in all of California, where you feel like you are on a completely different continent, because thanks to the ever-present greenery and the terrain, which is arranged so that the air constantly flows through it, in short, you find yourself in a place that has a completely different climate than the rest of California.
When you put everything together, you really feel like you're in a movie here and it's an experience of a lifetime. Apple It's also perfectly timed, which we'll get to later. The building itself is an incredible piece of work. If you wanted to walk all the way around it, you'd walk a mile, which is exactly how long it is. onen legendary circle. Despite its extreme size, it is essentially made of metal, butonem, wood and glass. You will be very hard pressed to find other materials here. Interestingly, all the walls in the building have a special surface that absorbs noise and it is true that here you really only hear the voices of those who are a few dozen centimeters away from you, hearing something like the clicking of heels is impossible. The whole circle is of course connected and can be bypassed. Below it are parking spaces for employeesance, of which 12 currently work here.

The building is completely self-sufficient and does not need to be connected to any network, whether we are talking about electricity or water supply. The entire roof is covered by 22 solar panels that generate more energy than Apple The park needs it for its operation. And although what I'm going to write now will sound like something from a sci-fi movie, it's exactly what we were told when we toured the Park. When it rains, water flows from the roof to the inner and outer parts of the circle, where an artificial ditch is created, which is made up of different types of sand, stones and other substrates, which naturally, without the use of any chemicals, filter the rainwater, which then Apple Park uses.
Another interesting fact is that the entire café, or rather the cafeteria, Caffé Macs, which is part of the building and can be seen in the gallery, has the largest glass doors in the world. Everything you see open can be closed using a huge door that closes in 8 minutes. The café, or rather the cafeteria for employeesance has these doors mostly open, but in case of bad weather they close. These are the largest glass doors in the world and the entire mechanism, including the glass, had to go through a special manufacturing process that was designed specifically for the creation of these doors. Incidentally, Apple it also has a story to the glass itself, or to the sand from which the glass is made Apple Park produced. Sand for glass production comes from different parts of the world such as Greece, deserts in the USA and so on. For making solid glass that can be worked with to create huge windows that form Apple Park, it was necessary to find the ideal mixture of sands from which the glass was made. Even this process to us Apple showed, including samples of glass that gradually improved until the result from which it is made Apple Park.
all Apple The park consists of a closed area in which, in addition to the main building, Apple denotes as Apple Park Ring also houses a number of other smaller buildings, including a gym and wellness center for employees.ance. An integral part of the whole Apple The park also has the Steve Jobs Theater, which is something every tech lover should know. Apptears will well up in your eyes. It is here that Apple he is showing his latest products and we were there when he showed us live here as the first people in the world Apple Vision ProThe theater itself is made up of betonem, metal and glass, and you will find basically two circular rooms for product presentations, as well as the theater itself, which is hidden underground and looks like a regular theater.

It wouldn't be Appleif you hadn't prepared something for us at the end magicsomething that cannot be photographed and is difficult to describe. The Steve Jobs Theater is quite far from the building itself Apple Ring Park. Apple example Vision Pro timed the moment when the sun was setting over California and after we left the theater we could see a unique view of the main building Apple The park, which can not only be seen almost entirely from here, but there is something here that cannot be photographed. Between the main building and the theater there are different types of grass that move in the wind and thanks to the rays of the setting sun that fall on them, they create a golden aura around them that makes you feel like you are in a movie. You really feel like you are watching a new installment of Avatar and that what is unfolding in front of you is not real. Apple In short, he can make even the smallest details, like timing the moment you leave the theater, unique. I am glad that I had the opportunity to see everything and experience one of the exceptional days that I will probably remember forever and a big thank you goes to Appyou.
Amazing! I envy and wish!!
Thank you for the beautiful description and transfer of the experience at least in this written form. I would also like to experience it someday
Is there a way for the public to get there? Any tour?
Thanks!
Unfortunately, Mirka, absolutely impossible. Even those who are invited actually only get to see it twice a year, and that's on WWDC and in the autumn keynote.
