Our story begins today in 1851, during the California Gold Rush. James Savage, a ruthless rogue trader, corner Indians central Sierra Nevada Mountains, in the United States. This designates a group to gain control of all lands, the infamous Butterfly Battalion.

When explored Yosemite Valley discovered a rock formation over 2300 meters. A resounding granite monolith, a force of nature impassively over 100 million years watching from the distance.

Since those days, "Captain" has become the most recognized symbol in American national parks. Also regarded as a mythical place in the history of climbing. The Captain will also now the image of the new operating system from Apple. And I have never believed in coincidences.

The first Apple Store bioenergetics in Japan

Comes might be considered the first Apple Store bioenergetics, which will be opened in Japan, particularly in Tokyo, in the district of Omotesando. 

Although much of the store is covered, as they are still working on it, can be seen as one of the side outer walls is completely covered with vegetation. Creepers, vines and many other types of plants that do not seek to be a mere aesthetic complement.

If you look at the picture accompanying these lines, the wall is covered is not the main facade, but rather that is a side wall facing an alley, then we can understand that aesthetics is not what they want with this wall. Summers in Tokyo are hot and very humid, this wall is to regulate the temperature inside the store in a natural way.

Apple is greatly concerned when building their installations to be as friendly as possible with nature, and this type of construction could become a trend, although much will depend on the country where it is built.
