Linked: “A first look at Apple’s new campus”

via Mashable: (I think this is the first time I’ve linked to Mashable ever. What a titan of tech and how it has fallen)

But perhaps the most stunning addition is its roof, which Apple believes is the largest freestanding carbon-fiber roof ever made. Created by Dubai-based Premier Composite Technologies, it’s a massive statement piece, in addition to a design feat. But please, Apple doesn’t want you to call it a UFO. The roof was added to the Theatre last month.

The circular roof is made up of 44 identical radial panels averaging 70 feet long and 11 feet wide, and each connects to a small central hub positioned in the middle.

It was assembled and tested in a Dubai desert before being shipped in pieces to Cupertino, California. It weighs 80 tons.

I think Apple Campus 2 is Steve’s last product released an entire 5 years after he has passed away.
