Foster & Partners’ new Apple store and waterfall in Milan

Foster & Partners has designed a new public space in Milan for tech giant Apple.

The new stepped plaza is off the Italian city’s Corso Vittorio Emanuele and includes a water feature with visitors entering the fountain through a glass covered entrance.

The fountain, which features 26ft high glass walls, flows down into the base of an amphitheatre which leads into the neighbouring Apple store.
