What's the matter with the apple trapdoor? Big bugs in avant-garde design

Apple fell into a "speed down door" last year and was recently exposed as a "glass door" by the media. So what's going on with Apple's glass doors? What does it have to do with ordinary glass? Let's take a look at it with sihaiwang Xiaobian.

This' glass door 'is really related to glass doors.

Apple's new headquarters in Cupertino, Santa Clara County, California, has been put into use recently, but has encountered minor problems due to its avant-garde architectural design. The new headquarters building is a huge circular glass curtain wall building, and the internal office area is also separated by glass. Jonathan & middot; ive, chief designer of apple, once said that the new headquarters design concept is "let people communicate, cooperate, walk and talk".

Bloomberg and market watch reported that because of the large use of glass, some employees walked with their own mobile phones, mistakenly thinking that there was no obstacle ahead and bumped into the glass door or wall. Some employees pasted post it notes on the glass as a warning, but it was torn off because it was not beautiful. According to the archives of Santa Clara County, two people were injured in the head on January 2 and needed to be treated by emergency personnel, the market watch website reported. In addition, in a screenshot of the social media website distributed in this report, one person wrote that it was heard that seven people directly hit the glass door on the first day of the opening of Apple's new headquarters, which was just a report of the number of people who suffered & hellip & hellip; because they were hurt by the collision '.

Apple did not respond to the reports.

According to the OSHA regulations, enterprises are obliged to set up obstacles or eye-catching and durable signs to prevent employees from colliding with the glass, according to the market watch website. A spokesman for California's occupational safety department said Apple could be fined and ordered to take corrective action if it is found to have violated the regulations.

Glass had previously caused Apple trouble. In 2011, an 83 year old American woman hit a glass wall when she entered an apple store and her nose was injured. She sued apple for failing to post warning signs on the glass. The lawsuit ended in a settlement.
