Boston's Apple Store

The new Boston Apple Store might look impressive, but Mike the Mad Biologist calls it a Failure of Architecture.

"I figured that a rainy evening was a good time to check out the store. The first thing is that there is an overhang where you can close your umbrella. Good. Except for the open doors that block the entrance to the store, forcing you to walk outside. Not so bad in May, crappy in March. Then there's the elegantly designed minimalist interior which has no carpeting. That means that everyone's umbrella piddles on the floor and leaves puddles everywhere."

Then he gets to the plexiglass circular staircase with wet shoes.
